The mistake is that Huixuan miscalculated Yong Guogong's need for Xie Wuling, not just the need for fame and fortune.

After the Banquet, Xie Wuling's paintings also made Yong Guogong famous. I don't know when the words "A man of Zhaoxing, the power of the world" spread in the streets and alleys.

And the picture of "Walking Alone in the Green Mountains" made by Xie Wuling at the banquet was immediately competed for by various powers and nobles.

Some people praised Xie Wuling's amazing talent, but some people doubted that it was not written by Xie Wuling himself.

However, when the picture was finally in the hands of Zhao Zuo, when he looked at the distant mountains in the picture, the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, the secluded winding path, and the back of a poor man in gray and white clothes on the winding path, the corner of his mouth was unconscious. The ground hooked the hook, and it became a smile. It took a long time to say, this picture is full of emotion.

And Prime Minister Wang wrote a letter to beg for the bones at the end of the month of the order banquet, and the emperor agreed.This incident pushed Duke Yong's mother clan to the top again. The beam that was once on top of the Liang family was taken away, and the Liang family naturally refused to let go of this good opportunity.

It is said that the Ministry of Rites has made three folds, reminding the Holy Majesty to find an officiant for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.In the previous dynasty, most of the princes were favored princes, but in this dynasty, most of the princes were still young and few were adults, so they were temporarily replaced by Prime Minister Wang, but when the prime minister resigned, this one was suspended.

There was a message from the palace to Duke Yong's mansion, saying that this year the Holy Majesty intended to hand over the responsibility of the abbot to Duke Yong, and asked him to go into the palace more often.

And before Prime Minister Wang, who was retiring, ordered everyone to pack up their belongings and bring their family and mouth, before returning to Zhaoxing, Fufeng scribes specially held a banquet for him in the most famous Yunmeng Garden in Fufeng City, which should be practiced.

Because of the Queen's invitation, Duke Yong would enter the palace every morning, so he asked Sang Luo to accompany Xie Wuling.

There is a small bamboo grove in the garden, Xie Wuling and Sang Luo just arrived at the entrance of the garden, when they were led to this forest by the young servants.

Prime Minister Wang set out two cups and invited them to sit down.

"Sang Luo is here too? I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Prime Minister." Sang Luo knelt down and kowtowed to the old man before getting up and taking his seat.

Seeing such a great gift from him, Prime Minister Wang hurriedly stepped forward to give him a hand: "I can't bear it, I can't bear it. Why bother to perform such a great gift. You have to learn from Ling'er, see me, let go."

"Sang Luo was favored by Mr. Wang Shuo Lang, but he failed to form a grass ring. Now that the prime minister is leaving Fufeng, Sang Luo should perform this ceremony. I hope that the prime minister will return to his hometown in fine clothes, and half his life will be smooth." The rules are clearly memorized, and it probably has something to do with him being by Yong Guogong's side all these years.

"You, it's a pity you came to Fufeng." Prime Minister Wang was looking at Sang Luo, but when he said "it's a pity", he looked at Xie Wuling who was on the side.

Xie Wuling took the teacup in front of him, as if he had never heard of it, he said: "It's better to be Uncle Wang, every time you can only eat this Shoumei tea when you chat with Uncle Wang."

"You are exactly like your master. Greedy."

"Not only that, Ling'er is greedy a lot. Master, Ling'er is not like this."

"That's right. At that time, he was a romantic gentleman. In the whole world, no one could compare to him. At that time, everyone in the palace respected him. As long as they were around him, no one would dare to stop him."

"Is it still useful to mention his name now?"

"If you are meeting the emperor, you can try it. As for entering and exiting the palace gate, I think it would be more effective to mention my name?"

After saying that, all three people at the table laughed.

After laughing, Sang Luo said that he had brought gifts for Duke Yong, so he left and went to look for him, but the two of them were left behind.

"Sang Luo is just too understanding. It's going to hurt him."

"He, let it be his own fault."

"You, don't talk about him, if..."

"Yes, yes, yes," Xie Wuling immediately interrupted Prime Minister Wang, "There really will be a day when you will be to blame, and Ling'er will admit it."

"If there is such a day, you will have to admit it?" Wang Chengxiang answered the words and joked.

Back then, Prime Minister Xie had a Wang Cheng beside him, who could point out, persuade him, and save him from retreating, but now Xie Wuling has only himself by his side.

The result of the counselor was only two times, either in the name of loyalty or in the name of sycophant.The same death, the former can be eulogized by thousands of steles, but the latter is a corpse wrapped in straw mats, reviled by thousands of people.

For a person like Xie Wuling, Prime Minister Wang had to worry about him. "

"Ling'er, do you remember what uncle told you to paint anyway?"

"Remember, Uncle said that even two or three strokes can make me famous in Fufeng City. Ling'er wanted to choose a date to thank you, but I didn't expect you to return to Zhaoxing so soon."

"There's no need to say thank you, it's just your own ability, we Zhaoxing people, we can't make mistakes when we do things according to our heart."

Xie Wuling didn't understand this at the time, but he only understood after he became Xianzhi's master.

Zhao Xing is a child, when self-knowledge of writing and hyphenation, what is brought up is the best and the way.Goodness is in the hands, the way is in the heart, and things that follow one's heart are naturally biased towards the good way, so there is no mistake.

"After Uncle leaves, Fufeng will belong to you. Although the Wang family has moved, the things that have been deeply rooted in the past ten years still cannot be shaken. If you want it, let it go. But you must remember the phrase 'grinding but not phosphorous'."

Xie Wuling's heart felt a little sour, as if he had eaten the green apricots in his yard.

Grinding without phosphorus, Nirvana without blackening.Only when people's hearts have not changed can they do good deeds.

But what moved Xie Wuling even more was Prime Minister Wang's previous words.He remembered that when he left Zhaoxing, the abbot once said a similar sentence to him: "Zhaoxing is behind you. Don't look back. No matter how far you go, Zhaoxing can follow you."

Xie Wuling took the teacup and respected the old man in front of him, he understood what Prime Minister Wang meant, that is to give him all the power that Fufeng secretly held in the hands of the Wang family.

Probably this is also the reason why Xie Wuling wants to move the capital with a painting name. It is the Wang family who are telling those behind the scenes that Zhaoxing's next person is coming, and they need to treat him as if they were Wang Chengxie.

"Ling'er, thank you, Uncle Wang and Senior Brother." Then he drank the tea in the cup, but Wang Cheng raised the teacup unhurriedly and drank it slowly, he should be thanked.

Prime Minister Wang put down the teacup, sucked his mouth, and said seriously: "Now, once I leave, the officials impeached by Yushitai will almost be investigated, and the Yongguo Guild will cut off two ears. But the Holy Majesty probably won't be able to be ruthless." hand."

"Senior brother told me that the Holy Majesty may be more competent as a father." Of course, that's not what the original words said, but Hui Xuan's original words were, wouldn't it be better not to be a king in the ninth five years?But Xie Wuling didn't dare to put the original words in Fufeng City.

"Indeed. He couldn't do it, so we forced him. The kiln mouth in Xishan is going to be windy. You live in Hushan, so you have to be careful. He should have a hard time this Mid-Autumn Festival. That kid Sangluo, can you If you shine, you will shine."

"Yes, I still remember the wine he and I buried in the northwest, so I should protect his life anyway."

"Ah."

"Uncle Wang, Ling'er has something to ask."

"Go ahead."

"On the day of the banquet, what did you say to Congshan Langjun?"

"You really care," Prime Minister Wang said when he heard that Xie Wuling was asking about Zhao Zuo. He didn't know if he was angry or what, he put the teacup heavily on the stone table, and blew on his beard before saying, "Say he should go. Please decree to go through the six parts and learn something."

Xie Wuling turned a blind eye and continued to ask: "Which ministry does he want to go to?"

"Which department do you want him to go to?"

"Military Department." Xie Wuling explained, "I value civility more than martial arts now. But it doesn't mean that Wu is not considered. Before Kuang Ling'er came, I heard that there were occasional bandits in the Northwest in recent years. Although it is a small fight, it affects the whole There are. If he can hit the knife immediately, it will be impressive in the future."

It is not known whether they are bandits or not, but in Fufeng City, there are indeed many more scribes than generals.Speaking of those generals who lived their lives in the army, only the Lu family took root in the capital and survived.Most of the other generals have asked themselves to guard the border. The morale of Fufeng's civil servants is too high, and the generals are not used to it, which is also expected.

This makes, here in Fufeng, the literature is more prosperous, and the martial arts is more declining.

"No wonder you chose him. He agrees with the same intention. If he can really earn military merits in the future, I think he should not be far from being the Duke of the country."

"Exactly."

"Oh, I almost forgot. He asked me to bring you a sentence today. On the fasting day, you should go and see the spiritual mirror."

"Please trouble Uncle Wang."

"You juniors, you've already worked so hard, why are you talking about trouble?"

"Then Ling'er, let's do a salute as well, and thank the Prime Minister?" Xie Wuling changed his sitting position to kneeling, moved his body out, and wanted to kowtow.

"Don't, don't, you're just embarrassing me, old man. If you knock me down a few more times, I'm afraid my life will be lost."

Xie Wuling stopped his movements, sat back to his original seat, and chatted with Wang Chengxiang until Sang Luo came back with some calligraphy and paintings, and then got up to go to the banquet.This banquet was really enjoyable, and many literati chanted bitter and gloomy words until late at night, and it was considered hearty.

Prime Minister Wang left on the second day, which was also the day when the impeached officials were sent to prison. The sentence that was supposed to be executed after autumn was changed to dismissal by the Holy Majesty three days later.

However, Duke Yong and Empress Liang struggled for a long time to be the officiant of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but it was Zhao Zuo's hand. The emperor also granted Zhao Zuo's decree to go to the Ministry of War, but still did not give him the title of fiefdom.The eater enjoys it, but he is allowed to be a landlord.

The author has something to say: Let’s talk about the title of the prince, it’s probably the prince’s fief of the landowner’s princess, or the princess’s fief of the land’s princess.

For example, Xianzhi is the lord of Xinling, Zhao Shi is the lord of Xuancheng, Zhao Xiu is the emperor of Yongguo, and he is Princess Changle, who will appear after Lu Qi, his mother, Princess Qiguo
