The sun was setting, and it was dusk!
Wang Qian from the Ministry of Works, Wang Weimin from the Ministry of Personnel, and seven or eight other officials were invited to the residence.
These people's official positions ranged from the fourth to the sixth rank, but they had some real power in the two tribes. Although they were not directly related to the Wang family, they were more or less related. In the court, they could be considered to be in the same faction and had a good relationship.
Today, they did not wear their usual official robes for the banquet. All of them wore long robes and silk scarves. They were dressed like Confucian scholars. Clearly, they did not want to attract attention.
"Haha, everyone, quickly take your seats. The banquet is about to begin."
Wang Dan had already arranged for a banquet to be held in the hall, and he was dressed in a dark purple silk robe as he personally came to welcome them.
Wang Qian and Wang Weimin, who were in their thirties, were the two with the highest official positions among them. The two of them sat on either side of Wang Dan's seat.
The others also sat down according to their positions.
"Today, I have invited all of you to the banquet. I would like to propose a toast to all of you. Thank you for coming.”
Wang Dan stood up from the main seat, raised his glass, and downed it.
"Lord Wang is too polite. However, since Lord Wang has invited us all here today, I believe there must be something that you need, right?”
"That's right, Lord Wang, just say it. We're all from the same family, so there's no need to be so polite.”
"Since everyone is so straightforward, then I won't hide it anymore!”Wang Dan raised his hand and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp. Then, he said," To tell you the truth, I did invite all of you here today to discuss something.”
"Sir, please tell me!"
Wang Qian and Wang Weimin put down their wine glasses, and the others did the same. They looked at Wang Dan.
Wang Dan put down his wine glass and looked at everyone. He asked,""Ever since the Zhenguan period of the Great Tang, there was a seventeen-year-old top scholar.”
"A seventeen-year-old top scorer? Of course, he remembered. Wasn't it Liu Xuan?”
"That's right, I remember him!"
"Hehe, a seventeen-year-old top scholar, but only a county magistrate. This is something that I will never forget in my life!”
As he listened to everyone's chatter, Wang Qian looked at Wang Dan." What's wrong? What was Liu Xuan up to?”
Hearing Wang Qian's question, everyone stopped chatting and looked at Wang Dan.
Wang Dan nodded." That's right. Liu Xuan did cause quite a stir, and it has something to do with the Wang family.”
Was it related to the Wang Clan?
Everyone looked at each other. Finally, Wang Qian looked at Wang Dan." Please explain yourself, Lord Wang!”
"The current Liu Xuan is extraordinary…"
A moment later, when Wang Dan told them about Liu Xuan in detail, Wang Qian, Wang Weimin, and the others 'expressions darkened.
A member of the Wang Clan was actually killed by a seventh-grade county magistrate. This was simply a slap to the face of the Wang Clan!
Wang Weimin slammed the table." This Liu Xuan can't be kept alive. He must be eliminated!”
Although Wang Qian also thought so, he frowned and said,"I'm afraid that there's someone behind Liu Xuan!”
"Impossible. Don't forget that when Liu Xuan became the top scorer, he was unanimously rejected by the ministers in the court. If it wasn't for the Left Servant Fang Xuanling who cherished talent and interceded for him, he probably wouldn't even be able to go to the Dragon Gate!”
Wang Dan nodded." Don't worry, everyone. I've already checked the case files. Liu Xuan doesn't have anyone backing him!”
"Since there's no one behind this, it's too easy to get rid of a rank-seven Sesame Official!" Wang Qian's expression relaxed a little.”
"Some time ago, the flood in Jiangzhou was serious. The Fen River's water level rose sharply, and the same was true for the Ke River. The grain production could be said to be serious. The Ministry of Justice can give him a verbal commendation, and then our Ministry of Works will put pressure on him. If the flood problem can't be solved within three months, at that time, we will charge him with a crime of incompetence.”
"High, really high!" Wang Weimin couldn't help but praise.
Wang Dan nodded, a satisfied look on his face.
"What do you think?"
The others looked at each other and nodded.
"Lord Wang Qian's method is not bad!"
"Then let's make this happen tomorrow!”
"Good!"
Wang Dan cupped his hands at the others and thanked them." In that case, thank you for your help. I will remember this favor.”
These few people quickly stood up and waved their hands." Lord Wang is too polite. It was just a passing effort. I don't dare to take credit."”
Everyone sounded polite, but deep down, they were very happy. They had come today to make Wang Dan remember this favor!
Even though they were all members of the Wang family, they were still relatives of the Wang family. They were like relatives, and they could not compare to Wang Dan, who was also a member of the Wang family. Furthermore, Wang Dan's official position was higher than theirs.
To be able to make Wang Dan owe him a favor was a great reward.
"Come, come, come…Let's drink, let's drink. We won't go home until we're drunk today!”
Wang Dan immediately raised his glass and called the singer over to liven things up.
