Chapter 93 The Meeting of the Yellow Crane Tower
Chapter 93 �
Time flies by in a flash of time.
The first day of April will arrive soon.
The things that King Wugang did were very good.
Excessively good.
It seemed that the King of Wugang wanted to do something to cover up the scandal of the King of Chu lineage. So he mobilized the connections of the King of Chu's mansion, and almost overnight, the news spread throughout Wuchang City. After more than a month of brewing, it became a topic of discussion in the streets and alleys of Wuchang.
Even the government was alarmed.
To be honest, if it were not for the endorsement of King Wugang at this time, it would be impossible to continue.
After all, it is related to astronomical phenomena. Although Zhou Mengchen, as an official who can learn astronomy in the Ming Dynasty, was still a bit taboo in his approach.
But with the endorsement of the King of Chu, there is naturally no problem.
Ancient laws were just steps used to trample on the privileged class. Different privileged people could step on different steps, while the emperor stood on all the steps.
Therefore, when the sun rose on the first day of April, dozens of restaurants around the center were all wrapped up by the King of Wugang with a wave of his hand. The invitation was sent to the nobles of the entire Wuchang Prefecture. It can be said that all the well-known people around Wuchang came.
But although the Yellow Crane Tower is not small, it is just a three-story building. It cannot accommodate so many people at all. Not everyone can come here to attend the banquet. They can only sit next to them.
And this big banquet was ordered by the King of Wugang to be a Japanese-watching banquet.
Zhou Mengchen could only come out as a welcome guest.
The first one to come was Feng Li.
Zhou Mengchen hurried up and said, "Uncle Feng Shi."
Feng Li said worriedly: "I have read all your verification. The time is a bit short, but I haven't understood it yet. However, the sun and the moon are difficult to measure, and the difficult problems of ancient and modern times. Now you are so arrogant. How should you end up?"
After the news came out, Feng Li was shocked and hurried to ask Zhou Mengchen to withdraw from this matter. Zhou Mengchen could only show Feng Li the manuscript that had been checked.
With Feng Li's mathematical level, many places cannot be deduced successfully. Therefore, he did not have that much confidence in Zhou Mengchen.
Zhou Mengchen said, "Uncle Feng Shi, I am actually very worried. I have always been worried that if there is rainy weather today, it will be difficult to deal with. Now the sky is clear and God is really helping me, so Uncle Shi should not worry."
Although it is rainy, Zhou Mengchen
Feng Li shook his head and said, "I'm old and can't understand it." He went upstairs as he said that.
Zhou Mengchen looked at Uncle Zhang who was following Feng Li and said, "Why don't you comfort me?"
Uncle Zhang said, "What should I comfort you? Shouldn't it be to wish you a great success and become famous all over the world from now on? Today is not a sun-watching banquet, but your Longmen Banquet and Qionglin Banquet. It's just that the Longmen is hard to cross and Qionglin is hard to break. Be careful. I'm not worried about your calculations, I'm worried about anything else."
Zhou Mengchen looked upright and said, "I know. Don't worry, this is Wuchang after all."
Then there were some other guests, such as the freshly baked county magistrate Huang, Li Yanwen, and his two sons.
Li Yanwen originally wanted to escape to the countryside of Huangzhou after his son got married. With his prestige in his hometown, most people could not find their family. After all, Li Yanwen, who has been practicing medicine in his hometown for a long time, can be said to have made good relationships. Now the Li family often goes to Huangzhou for medical treatment. The disciples he taught have also spread in Huangzhou.
It's too easy to hide a family.
Once the King of Wugang intervenes, the matter will be a big deal, and there will be two situations.
It is impossible for Li Yanwen to do anything else. After all, the Wang family has a shallow foundation in Wuchang Mansion, so the Li family wants to leave. Naturally, they can leave. But the Wugang King is different. He is now in charge of the resources of the entire Chu Prince's Mansion. It is much more difficult for Li Yanwen to hide from the Chu Prince's Mansion.
There are also Lu Huan, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei. Lu Huan didn't say much, but just told Li Yanwen in a low voice that the Jinyiwei people had been staring at the Wang family secretly. Today, the Wang family's uncle and nephew could not make any trouble. Zhou Mengchen naturally thanked him and refused to mention it.
There was another unexpected person, the young man who followed Liu Tianhe that day. Zhou Mengchen knew that he was Liu Tianhe's grandson, named Liu Xiushui.
When Zhou Mengchen saw Liu Xiushui, he frowned and said, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be filial?"
There are also some places where Liu Xiushui is hung with white cloth, which shows that he is a filial piety.
Liu Xiushui said: "I think fulfilling my grandfather's last wish is the greatest filial piety."
Zhou Mengchen was greeting someone, but he had no time to clone him, so he didn't ask too much, so he could only tell Cheng Dazhen to settle down.
Immediately, Zhou Mengchen saw Wang Yongning and Wang Daozhi again.
But Wang Yongning was fairy-like and generous, and was frightened by today's attitude. Wang Daozhi was different. His face was serious, and a hint of nervousness appeared faintly.
Wang Yongning met Zhou Mengchen and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would make such a big noise. He alarmed many people to warn me. It seemed like I had left something that hurt the heavens and harmed the truth. Today I came to clarify to the layman that I am a practitioner. God has the virtue of being a good person, so how could he do so many dirty things? It must be that the layman misunderstood me. Today's dispute with the layman is naturally a dispute between a gentleman. I also want to see that it is a layman who is unparalleled in the divine fortune, but the name of the Imperial Heaven Supervisor is not the same."
After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen immediately became alert.
On Wang Yongning's face, he was definitely unable to see any false intentions, as if it was completely a leak of true feelings. Those who didn't know really thought they were moral cultivators. It was just that Zhou Mengchen had seen how Wang Yongning threatened the Li family and knew how to deal with the magistrate of Wu County.
The magistrate of Wu County has never seen anyone in this life and never seen a corpse after death. I don’t know which river it has sunk into.
What made Zhou Mengchen feel even more shameless was Wang Yongning's last words, and he put himself in a state of ease of advancing and retreating. Zhou Mengchen won because he won the imperial heaven prison. Wang Yongning just believed the words of the imperial heaven prison. He lost people but did not lose the formation, but just threw the face of the imperial heaven prison on this Yellow Crane Tower.
It is conceivable how the Imperial Heaven Supervision will view Zhou Mengchen in the future.
Before Zhou Mengchen entered the capital, he offended the Imperial Heaven Supervision.
However, Zhou Mengchen also has his own purpose. Today, at the Huanghe Tower meeting, it is inevitable to win the Wang family to marry a wife, but it is also important to become famous all over the world. Therefore, if you know the supporting role of the Wang family, Zhou Mengchen does not have to overcome it today. Everything needs to be grasped.
No matter how Zhou Mengchen complained about Wang Yongning in his heart, he still had to give him the appearance of face. Otherwise, in front of so many people, he would seem to be unlucky. Zhou Mengchen smiled and said, "What Wang Zhenren said is very true. Brother Wang and I are not a big deal. We are beautiful ladies and gentlemen, and are a common human relationship. Naturally, it is a dispute between gentlemen. If you have any offense, please forgive me." Then he bowed to the king's way.
The kingly way is much more cunning than Zhou Mengchen.
After all, acting skills not only require hard work, but also need to open your eyes. Zhou Mengchen has seen countless old actors in later generations. Although some details are not done properly, they are generally well-behaved. However, the kingly way is even worse, and his resentment towards Zhou Mengchen cannot be concealed at all.
Especially this was clearly intended to make Zhou Mengchen extremely painful to seize his wife, but it became the Huanghe Club that made Zhou Mengchen famous.
It makes King Dao even more jealous.
Zhou Mengchen was still a white-handed person who could not succeed him. He was already a scholar. Now in less than a year, he could only become a Taoist priest and follow his uncle. Zhou Mengchen was already a sensible figure in Wuchang Mansion. He was a guest of honor in the King of Chu Mansion. Compared with the two, Wang Daozhi hated him deeper.
People want to see people who are better than themselves and are unlucky. They never like people who are under themselves and jump onto their heads in one fell swoop.
He could only feel stiff as if he was shaking his waist. He replied, "Brother Zhou is worried too much."
It's just five words, and I don't want to say more about the remaining word.
After Zhou Mengchen and the uncle and nephew of the Wang family entered, the finale was the finale.
It was either someone else, the King of Wugang, the Marquis of Fengcheng, and the Governor of Che.
The King of Wugang ranked first among the three and said, "I'm waiting to see the solar eclipse today. To be honest, I've experienced the solar eclipse, but it's not as fresh as today."
Otherwise, Jiajing is a period of high incidence of solar eclipses. There are solar eclipses in the 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd year of Jiajing.
The King of Wugang naturally had seen solar eclipses, but most of them had sudden solar eclipses, and then there was a mess of sun-saving ceremony.
Zhou Mengchen said: "Of course, let the prince get what he wants."
After the King of Wugang entered, he was the father of Fengcheng Hou.
Since the incident was not done at the beginning, Li Ru, the son of the Marquis of Fengcheng, had not had frequent contacts with Zhou Mengchen as before. Zhou Mengchen didn't care. After all, some friends may not be able to live for the rest of their lives. Moreover, Li Ru was kind to Zhou Mengchen, and the relationship between the two sides was a little weaker, but he still maintained it. However, Li Ru seemed a little ashamed when he saw Zhou Mengchen. However, the Marquis of Fengcheng didn't care at all. He was so passionate about Zhou Mengchen.
He grabbed Zhou Mengchen's hand and said in detail in Zhou Mengchen's ear: "Tell me a lesson to those stinky Taoist priests. When I was in Beijing, I was not angry with these bulls, and your master was not angry with you. Don't lose the face of Duke Xiang of Liu Zhuang."
After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen felt aroused his heart and said to himself: "It can be seen that these Taoist priests are not very popular."
It is not popular. The power of these Taoist priests is all dependent on the emperor. Emperor Jiajing never lets these Taoist priests interfere in government affairs. Anyone who does this will die without a trace. If these Taoist priests want money, they can only take various ways, which naturally affects the interests of eunuchs, nobles, and even civil servants.
After all, the top power of the Ming Dynasty is just such a big cake. Now there is one more person to eat. The original three old players, whether they are civil servants, nobles, or eunuchs, can that one be willing?
Zhou Mengchen smiled and said, "Please rest assured, marquis, I have the will to win."
