witch chaotic country

Chapter 687
Wang Wulang and Xie Huilian were originally envoys who were envoys by Tan Zhaoyu. Now that they are on the way to be envoys, the most important thing for this trip has not yet been finalized.

Wang Wulang couldn't imagine that if Tan Yaoyu hadn't made a decision when they arrived in the Northern Wei Dynasty, how would the two of them respond to Wei Huang's inquiry?
What's worse is that if Tan Yaoyu really intends to proclaim himself emperor, then Wei Huang will get angry, and he may not care about thinking that they are still members of Wang and Xie.

Although Xie Huilian was also nervous, he was not worried about whether he would lose his life by inviting Yu to proclaim himself emperor, but worried that he would lose face for Xie's family and Qiu Chi because of his improper behavior.

Xie Huilian sometimes stood up, sometimes sat down, and even got so nervous that he even had to decide which hand to use to hold the cup.

Seeing this, Wang Wulang suddenly felt that his situation was not that bad, at least he was free and easy, so it is good to be an "abandoned son".

Wang Wulang, who was in a good mood, thought about it for a while, and then began to write vigorously. He wrote a few greeting cards eloquently, and sent someone to go ahead of them and send them to the Han clans in each Pingcheng.

The Han clans in the north were all left behind due to various reasons when the previous dynasty was forced to move south.Now headed by the Cui family, after the Northern Wei Dynasty vigorously used Han people as officials, they have gained their own place in the north, maintaining a delicate balance with the Xianbei nobles.

Because this balance is not firm, the Han clans were a little hesitant after receiving Wang Wulang's invitation.

On the one hand, they hoped to get in touch with top clans like Wang Xie, but they were also worried that the Xianbei nobles would take advantage of the situation and sow dissension in front of Emperor Wei.

Just when they were thinking about how to have both fish and bear's paws, Cui Shishilang, the eldest son of the Cui family, was the first to be invited, and specially hosted a banquet for the two of them at Cui's house.

With this invitation, Wang Wulang has a bottom line in his heart.At least they are not completely alone in Pingcheng.

But until the two of them arrived in Pingcheng, there was still no news from Qiu Chi's direction.At this time, even Xie Huilian became anxious because of this.

Emperor Wei wanted to summon them three days later, but Tuoba Zhong's coffin was first carried away by Zong Ai.

Since then, I haven't heard any news about Tuoba Zhong. It seems that the Northern Wei court deliberately suppressed this matter. I don't know if Tuoba Zhong was buried with his father Tuoba Pojun as Tan Yaoyu hoped. place.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten about it.It seems that the traitors of a country are not as attractive as the princes of the Wang and Xie families.

For some unknown reason, Tuoba Tao pushed back the time to summon the two of them until after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Since Emperor Wei didn't summon them, Wang Xie and his wife could only stay in the posthouse with nothing to do.And when the clan's children have nothing to do, there is only one thing they can do.

feast.

Since the Cui family took the lead in expressing their views, the Han clans in the north have heard the news and rushed to post invitations like Wang and Xie.

However, Wang Wulang and Xie Huilian declined all invitations except the Cui family's mid-autumn banquet, but welcomed the nephews of each family to come to the posthouse to discuss knowledge.

This move seems a little arrogant, but it actually made the northern clan even more admired.

Although the Cui family took the lead, the suspicion of the Xianbei court would never become invisible because of this. Instead of being feared by the Wei emperor, it would be better to let the contact between the northern and southern clans become a mere academic consultation between the children.

Sure enough, as soon as the news was released, the flow of people entering and leaving the post house showed no sign of stopping before the curfew time.

As the leaders of the two top clans, everyone would naturally make various guesses about Wang and Xie before meeting the real people, but no matter how everyone guessed, the two still exceeded everyone's expectations.

There is not a single bit of luxury that a clan should have, and even the banquet hall, which is the most representative of the appearance, maintains the original appearance of the post house, and no other decorations are made at all.

Some sour-mouthed people couldn't help but sneer when they saw this situation, "Wang Xie and his ilk are nothing more than that, it seems that the southern clan has really fallen!"

However, as soon as the words were spoken, they were so shocked by the scrolls in the whole room and courtyard that they could not speak.

At this time, Wang Wulang said casually like a breeze blowing on his face: "The inheritance of the clan is not the golden jade and fertile land, but the words of the sages. The right way is to pass on the family through books. Xie Jiu and I are disciples of Qingzhou Five Schools. The library's collection of books over the years was transcribed in its original form. Before the two of us left, Xian Ji specially asked us to bring these and send them to the gentlemen of each family."

When the visiting gentlemen heard this at first, some were overjoyed, and naturally some were outraged.I feel that Wang and Xie are using this to mock the northern clan for their lack of knowledge.

When the former dynasty moved south, it took away a large number of precious classics and teachers, which made many small clans who stayed in the north at that time face the situation of having no books to teach.Therefore, the northern clan has always had a low self-esteem when it comes to knowledge.

However, when these people really read the books brought by the two, they will no longer be able to say such words as "pretend to be noble" and "fake benevolence and righteousness".

Because many of the books brought by the two are family heirlooms.That is to say, only the suzerain and the eldest son had the right to read the book.

This kind of book is often enshrined in the ancestral temples of various families, and outsiders cannot touch it.However, Wang and Xie donated the gift without hesitation, and even imparted what they had learned from the book.

Xie Huilian, who seemed a bit taciturn around Wang Wulang on weekdays, was always eloquent when he talked about books, and he was very humble and polite, and he answered anyone's questions frankly.

Even if I was questioned sometimes, I didn't deliberately cover it up, and said that I didn't know, and even respected those who asked me more.

His attitude suddenly made everyone understand why he was chosen as the eldest son.People with such knowledge and mind will become suzerain in the future. It seems that the Xie family has a bright future.

The northern clan finally fell under the pomegranate skirt of Shushan, and they were full of praise for Wang and Xie.Even Wei Huang Tuoba Tao specifically asked about this matter.Cui Hao took this opportunity to push his son Cui Shishi to Emperor Wei.

For several days after that, Cui Shishi was called by Tuoba Tao to answer the question, and was later appointed as a small official who was in charge of writing.Although inconspicuous, he often walks in front of Tuoba Tao, so he can be regarded as a close minister.Cui Shishi therefore wrote down the love between Wang and Xie.

When it was time for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Cui Shishi tried his best to be a landlord. Not only did he introduce several friends he was acquainted with to the two, but he also took the two of them to Cui's house for a banquet on the grounds of a visit. Korean and Chinese officials.

People are like this, if there is no contact, they will always be on guard, especially if the two of them are envoys of other countries.But Wang and Xie had this opportunity, before being summoned by Emperor Wei, they could have a few words with the officials and build up some friendship, so it would be easier to talk.Allowing the two to meet Emperor Wei face to face gave them more confidence.

Of course, if the news of Tan Yaoyu could arrive sooner, the two of them would be more confident...

The two were originally the focus of the most exciting city, and the topic of the meeting was brought up to them many times. Both of them were able to answer each other fluently, showing their talents, which attracted strange looks from the girls in the side seats.

Cui Shishi sat next to the two of them, and said in a low voice, puzzled, "Although I know that you two have improved a lot in knowledge, why have you changed your temperament? When you were in the post house, you were obviously a modest gentleman, but today you are so attractive?"

Wang Wulang seemed to have been waiting for Cui Shishi's words, and when he heard the words, he leaned over and whispered: "Do you have a younger sister of the right age in your family, how about we get married?"
