Chapter 787: Meet Wu Keshan(1/2)
"But what? What's the point? This world is inherently unfair. Don't say such childish words in the future. You won't be afraid of others laughing when you say it!" Wu Keshan shook his head and advised earnestly.
Indeed, there is no absolute fairness in this world, and even if it is relatively fair, it is not that easy to achieve.
Wu Keshan understood this truth very early and firmly believed in it.
Manzhu Xili closed his mouth and said nothing more. He just quietly followed Wu Keshan towards their family's property in Xuan Town.
Horqin is a large tribe on the grassland, and Buhe is Zhao Wen's father-in-law, so Horqin has many industries in Xuan Town.
These industries are basically shops that sell some Horqin local products. Nowadays, the living standard in Xuanzhen is already very high, so the purchasing power of the people in Xuanzhen is still acceptable.
Horqin can also make a lot of money from these local specialty shops in Xuan Town.
In addition to these shops, there is also a guild hall specially designed to accept people from Horqin.
The name of the guild hall is Horqin Guild Hall. Because Buhe is Zhao Wen's father-in-law, when Horqin Guild Hall was built, Zhao Wen specially approved a piece of land for Horqin to build the guild hall.
The Horqin Guild Hall is not far from the imperial palace. The architectural style is similar to that of the Xuanzang Post Hall. The buildings are all made of bricks and cement.
There are three buildings in the guild hall, located in a courtyard. Each building is seven stories high. The three buildings are connected together with a back-shaped structure.
Horqin surrendered to Zhao Wen relatively early, and coupled with his relationship with Zhao Wen, Horqin is now very rich, and Buhe is also willing to spend money, so Horqin Guild Hall can be regarded as a relatively luxurious guild hall in Xuanzhen.
.
The guild hall not only accepts people from Horqin, but also accommodates ordinary people on weekdays.
Of course, ordinary people do not have the financial resources to live in Horqin Hall.
Those who can afford to live in Horqin Guild Hall are basically businessmen.
Wu Keshan came to the road outside the train station with Manzhu Xili and his entourage.
There were cars coming and going on the road, and various wood-burning cars kept passing in front of Wu Keshan.
Wu Keshan looked at the buses passing by on the road from time to time, his face full of envy.
"There are so many novel things in Xuanzhen today. When I came to Xuanzhen last time, there were still not many cars like this in Xuanzhen, but today, the number is increasing day by day. Ever since I got out of the train
I have seen several buses since I stood here.
When will we in Horqin be able to have so many wood-burning cars like Xuanzhen?" Wu Keshan said with an envious look.
Manzhu Xili also said with envy: "This kind of car is really convenient and magical. It would be great if we could have a few of them in Horqin City!"
"Perhaps, I mentioned this matter to His Majesty before. At that time, His Majesty said that the productivity of the car factory in Xuanzhen is still a bit low, and the production speed of cars is still a bit slow. The cars produced are given priority to be supplied to Xuanzhen.
town.
But this time, I see that there are already so many buses on the street. I guess the production value has increased now, and maybe I can actually buy a few wood-burning cars to go back!" Wu Keshan said with a look of longing.
Everyone will have vanity, but the size of the vanity is different.
Wu Keshan is not a saint, and he also has vanity, so when he sees a wood-burning car, he will inevitably feel a little envious.
Wood-burning cars are very fast, look good, and can protect against wind and rain.
In Wu Keshan's opinion, wood-burning cars are much better-looking than ordinary horse-drawn carriages. In addition, for various reasons, Wu Keshan wanted this kind of wood-burning car very much.
"It would be great if we could really get a few wood-burning cars back home. In the future, when I go out to do errands in the winter, I don't have to be cold anymore!" Manzhu Xili said with a happy face.
"Okay, don't talk about these things, let's go to the club first and talk about it first!" Wu Keshan said and walked forward.
Not long after, Wu Keshan and others arrived at the door of Horqin Hall.
Just as Wu Keshan led people into the lobby of the club, the person in charge ran out from behind the counter in a hurry.
"I didn't know that Taiji was coming, but I couldn't welcome him from far away. Please ask Taiji to atone for his sins!" The person in charge stood next to Wu Keshan and bowed to Wu Keshan respectfully.
Wu Keshan didn't care about these details. He waved his hand to the person in charge and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these things. Now let's arrange a few rooms for us. We are really tired after taking the train all the way!"
"I'll make arrangements right away, I'll make arrangements right away!" the person in charge said and ran towards the inside.
Not long after, Wu Keshan and others moved into the arranged guest rooms.
At the same time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites outside the train station also sent the recorded list of people to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
Zhao Wen, who returned to the imperial study, was seriously dealing with the accumulated memorials.
Although Zhao Wen has a lot of things in his hands now, and although Zhao Wen has not really understood the matter of destroying the ceremony of establishing the crown prince, political affairs cannot be left behind. No matter what, political affairs still have to be dealt with, and memorials still have to be dealt with.
As the ceremony for establishing the Crown Prince approaches, most of the memorials on the table in front of Zhao Wen are congratulatory forms.
Zhao Wen looked at the congratulatory forms on the table and did not become happy because of the good words on them.
"I hope there won't be any trouble at the ceremony to establish the crown prince!" Zhao Wen muttered.
At this moment, the Minister of Rites came to the imperial study room.
"I have met Your Majesty!" The Minister of Rites bowed respectfully to Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen waved his hand towards the Minister of Rites and said, "Get on your feet!"
The Minister of Rites thanked him and stood up straight.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of people from various grassland tribes who have come to Xuanzang Town to watch the ceremony in the past few days. Your Majesty, please take a look!" The Minister of Rites took out a booklet from his arms and held it up high.
Chen Donglai walked down, took the book from the hands of the Minister of Rites, and placed it in front of Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen picked up the booklet and flipped through it.
After flipping through a few pages, Zhao Wen saw the names of Wu Keshan and others.
Zhao Wen looked at the booklet in his hand, fell into deep thought, and did not speak for a long time.
Almost a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Wen looked at the Minister of Rites and said, "Ai Qing, please go down first. We must make proper arrangements for those who have arrived!"
As Zhao Wen spoke, he asked Chen Donglai to hand over the book in his hand to the Minister of Rites.
After receiving the book, the Minister of Rites turned around and walked out of the imperial study room.
Looking at the back of the Minister of Rites, Zhao Wen looked at Chen Donglai and said, "Go and find Wang Qi. I have some things to give him!"
Chen Donglai bowed respectfully to Zhao Wen, and then walked outside.
Not long after, Wang Qi stood in the imperial study room.
Zhao Wen looked at Wang Qi who was standing in the imperial study and said, "My beloved, I have something to entrust you to do. You must be careful when doing it so that no one else knows about it.
The people who came to watch the ceremony from Horqin are already in place. The people coming this time are Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili. Please arrange it so that Wu Keshan and others can be watched closely by me.
The ceremony for establishing the crown prince is about to begin, and Horqin's people are very suspicious. I need you to keep a close eye on Horqin's people. If there is any trouble, notify me immediately!" Zhao Wen looked at Wang Qi in front of him.
, said.
"Your Majesty, do you want to arrest them directly and interrogate them?" Wang Qi looked at Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen shook his head and said: "It's not necessary for the time being. Although the people captured now say that the destruction of the ceremony of establishing the crown prince was arranged by Bu He, but before there is real evidence, don't act rashly for the time being."
No matter what, Bu He is Zhao Wen's father-in-law. Although everything now points to Bu He, there is no real evidence and everything is just the words of those people.
Zhao Wen will not take action against people like Wu Keshan until there is real evidence.
"Yes!" Wang Qi saluted Zhao Wen and then walked outside.
...
Wu Keshan and his entourage tidied up the rooms arranged by the hall and then walked out of the door of the hall.
Wu Keshan is different from others in that he is a relative of Zhao Wen, so the first thing he should do when he arrives in Xuan Town is meet Zhao Wen.
Wu Keshan took Manzhu Xili and a few followers and headed towards the palace.
Horqin Guild Hall was not far from the palace, and it didn't take long for Wu Keshan and others to arrive at the palace.
Although Wu Keshan is a relative of Zhao Wen, he still has to be informed when entering the palace.
At this time, Zhao Wen was sitting in the imperial study room processing the memorial.
"Your Majesty, Wu Keshan Taiji and Manzhu Xili Taiji would like to see you!" A small yellow man stood in front of Zhao Wen and said.
Zhao Wen raised his head and looked at Chen Donglai, "Go and bring Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili in!"
In any case, Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili are both relatives of Zhao Wen and the brothers of Hai Lanzhu. In the current lack of evidence, Zhao Wen still needs to pay attention to their identities!
Not long after, Chen Donglai brought Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili to the imperial study.
The two of them looked at Zhao Wen sitting on top and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Zhao Wen stood up from the chair and looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, "Get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Manzhu Xili and Wu Keshan thanked them and stood up.
"Give me a seat!" Zhao Wen looked at Chen Donglai.
Chen Donglai hurriedly took out two small stools and placed them behind Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili.
"Is the journey going smoothly?" Zhao Wen looked at the two people sitting in front of him and asked.
Wu Keshan replied: "Your Majesty, the railway has been built to Horqin City. This journey has been very smooth and nothing happened."
Nowadays, the railway has been built to Horqin City. Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili got on the train at Horqin City when they arrived.
