This performance really shocked this group of people.
Looking at the exquisite dishes in front of me that I have never seen before, the exquisite presentation is unbearable to destroy, the extremely gorgeous combination of dishes, the fragrant aroma, those unheard of and unseen ingredients, all of this
It makes them feel like their outlook on life has collapsed.
They have always believed that in terms of status and knowledge, they are already the best people in the world. Even the current emperors will not be much more luxurious than what they used to enjoy.
After all, not much of the royal taxes actually went to the emperor, but the family wealth could be freely used by them.
But what they saw and heard today was completely beyond their understanding, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of shame. They thought that they might be the arrogant frog in the well, and thought that in the past, they secretly ridiculed Liu Bei for being a mat weaver and shoe seller.
Generations, they ridiculed Wang Xuan for his lowly background and he would retaliate with evil intentions and cruel hands. At this moment, he only felt burning pain on his face.
In fact, it's not that they have never been to Xinghui Nightclub, but they have never seen this in the past. Now that they think about it, it's not that they didn't, but that they don't have enough status to enjoy this kind of treatment.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Wang Ren who was sitting in the main seat, and saw Wang Ren, the old man with a gentle and gentle look, as if this was just a small scene, and the old man had an expression that I had never seen in any scene.
I couldn't help but raise the level of the Wang family's strength once again.
In fact, Wang Ren was also dumbfounded. He had never seen this scene before. He had been to Xinghui Nightclub several times to listen to operas and had never seen this before. Moreover, when the venue was reserved, everything was designed by the nightclub.
, he doesn’t need to worry about it at all, well, it’s useless for him to worry about it, they won’t pay attention to it at all, everything has fixed regulations, of course, the highest level is certain.
Fortunately, this old man is old, and he who is too old to die is a thief. He reacts as quickly as possible, so he can put on such an unpredictable look to deceive people.
"Everyone, please have a meal and try it all. You can't eat these things in the past!" Wang Ren raised his hand and gestured to everyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of maids came to everyone carrying a tray. On the tray was a snow-white steaming towel, a cup of tea, and an empty bowl.
Everyone was stunned, no one knew what this was going to do. They quickly raised their heads and glanced at the others, only to find that the others were also looking around secretly. Finally, their eyes were focused on Wang Ren, who was sitting on the throne.
The treatment on Wang Ren's side was obviously different. When the maid came to her side, her lips did not move, but a small voice reached Wang Ren's ears, and Wang Ren was just stunned for a moment before his expression returned to normal.
He picked up the white towel and wiped his hands and face, then put the towel back. He picked up the tea, drank it and slowly rinsed his mouth, then picked up the porcelain bowl and spit it in.
Seeing Wang Ren finish his task, he waved his hand and the maid stepped back with the tray. Everyone below breathed a sigh of relief and quickly started following the same pattern. Suddenly, everyone felt that they had become taller.
The banquet finally started. Looking at the unfamiliar ingredients, the heads of the family were embarrassed to raise their heads and ask questions. It would really make them appear ignorant. They were chatting and laughing with each other while trying different dishes. Every time they entered the dish, they felt like it was...
A delicious taste that I have never tasted before.
After three drinks and five dishes, Wang Ren felt that he was done, so he put down his chopsticks and coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention.
"Everyone, the King of Han intends to make the Northern Expedition. You must already know about this." Wang Ren paused for a moment and saw everyone nodding before continuing: "I wonder what your plans are for this Northern Expedition?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into silence. No one could understand why Wang Ren asked this question. Among them, the Cui family was gradually moving south, and some people who were forced to prepare to go north didn't even think about it.
Know how to answer.
After a while, Su Li said tentatively: "It's not that we have any opinions, but that even if we have opinions,... these days are different from the past, so I'm afraid it's of no use!"
Hearing this, Wang Ren smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid Nephew Su Xian doesn't know yet, but my Wang family prepared to go north more than half a year ago."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and focused on the words 'more than half a year ago'. Not to mention that they had not met Wang Xuan at that time, Yuan Shao was probably still alive, and the Wang family was preparing to go north so early...
"I wonder what the relationship between the prince and the imperial master is?" Duan Yun, who responded quickly, asked abruptly.
"I won't mention this in advance. What I want to say is that instead of passively accepting it, why not take the initiative to cooperate? At least in my eyes, going north may not be a bad thing!"
Wang Rengu's performance made everyone's hearts skip a beat. They subconsciously looked around. He had the ability to book the entire Xinghui Nightclub and let everyone receive this level of treatment. He also prepared to go north more than half a year in advance. He must know something.
I'm waiting for news that I don't know, but if you still say that it has nothing to do with Wang Xuan, you are lying, old fox!
Everyone figured out the link and became excited all of a sudden. Their eyes were full of surprise when they looked at Wang Ren. For these wealthy families, is Wang Xuan scary?
very scary!
Why is it scary?
It's not because Wang Xuan is hostile to them, nor is it because Wang Xuan is ruthless, but because Wang Xuan is incommunicable.
No matter how many methods they used and how many human connections they initiated, they could not contact Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan seemed to them to be an isolated person without any human connections. This was what troubled them the most.
They tried to contact Wang Xuan through the relationship between Su Shuang of the Su family, but Su Shuang did not dare to say a word when meeting Wang Xuan. They also tried to contact Wang Xuan through the relationship between the Mi family. After all, he was the son-in-law of the Mi family, but Mi Zhu
When I heard that I wanted to contact Wang Xuan, I would rather lose the favor than accept such talk.
The news they got from various connections was that there were people who could change Wang Xuan's mind, such as Liu Guanzhang. Why would you, Wang Xuan, come to you if you can contact Liu Guanzhang!
Facing an incompetent guy like Wang Xuan, they were completely in despair. At this moment, Wang Ren suddenly appeared, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
"Please, Your Majesty, please give me and other juniors some advice!" A group of people quickly stood up and bowed their hands to Wang Ren.
"Everyone, please don't be too polite." Wang Ren raised his hand with a smile on his face to signal everyone to sit down, and then continued: "In my opinion, the old pattern has been going on for hundreds of years, and it is difficult to keep up with time.
At the same pace, and after this war in the Central Plains region, a new atmosphere will inevitably emerge. How prosperous the various schools of thought were in those days, but what about now? They have almost ceased to exist in the world. If we and other aristocratic families do not follow suit and explore a way
Sooner or later, the new path will be slowly eliminated by the long river of history, just like hundreds of schools of thought."
"As far as I know, after four hundred years of Han Dynasty, the King of Han now intends to re-explore a new political system under the advice of the Imperial Advisor. Due to the advancement of various technologies, the Han Dynasty is fully capable of further expanding its territory. The Imperial Advisor intends to expand the territory now
Outside the territory of the Han Dynasty, the feudal system was reactivated, and the 'Zhenyuanhou' and 'Zhendonghou' are the two most obvious examples."
As soon as Wang Ren said this, everyone present was stunned and froze in place. The hall fell into a strange silence. It took a while for everyone to gradually come to their senses. Their bodies were trembling slightly and they all looked at the seats with excitement on their faces.
For everyone Wang Ren, some images have been echoing back and forth in their minds.
The aristocratic family continues to develop in a place. As time goes by, it will slowly penetrate into all aspects of the place. In the end, its influence on the place will far exceed that of the imperial court. But this is the limit. If you want to go further, you will
Touching the bottom line of the imperial court is no different from rebellion. This problem is placed in front of all the aristocratic families, but it has never been solved.
It's not that some big families don't have the ability to go further, but they just don't have the ability to resist in the face of a behemoth like the imperial court. In fact, the talent reserves and human and financial resources of the big families are fully qualified to build a vassal state.
Only after Qin unified the six kingdoms, the feudal system was completely abolished and replaced by a centralized system. The Han Dynasty basically continued Qin's policies in full. Before Qin, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a total of 109 vassal states appeared before and after, all of which were
The products of top aristocratic families that have developed to the limit. Even after the country is destroyed, the aristocratic families are still passed down, such as Chen, Wu, Han, Zhao, Wei, etc. The Su family and Duan family here have their ancestors from the same country during the Spring and Autumn Period.
The Su family is a descendant of the Su country during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Su country is the origin of the surname Su, and its original address is in Wen County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province today.
The Duan family is descended from the Zhongshan Kingdom. In fact, the ancestors of the Duan family were also from a foreign race, members of the Xianyu tribe. They were later destroyed by the Jin Dynasty. After the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, they restored the country once and were destroyed by the Wei Dynasty again.
It would be nonsense to say that they had never dreamed of regaining the glory of their ancestors, but the times did not allow it. Now that Wang Ren said this, combined with what they had seen about Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu, they naturally believed it.
It's not that what Wang Ren said makes sense, it's that if they want to believe it, they will naturally find various reasons for it.
At this time, Wang Ren continued: "To be honest with you, our Wang family also has ideas and has been preparing for half a year!"
