Chapter 647: Audience (1)

Chapter 647

In his father's generation, the Wang family was once famous all over the world, known as the "Nine Princes of the Tang Dynasty", and even more honored as the "virtuous minister". However, Wang Gen and Wang Yan's generation are declining, and they cannot be compared with the glory of their father's era.

This is also a deep pain in Wang Gan's heart.

But now, the Wang family has finally produced a Wang Chong.

In the battle of the southwest, the sky-high light that burst out of Wang Chong's body, even Wang Chong didn't dare to look at it directly, let alone believe it!

β€”β€”After so long, the Wang family is finally hopeful!

"Duan Yushi ......"

Wang Chong didn't expect that in a short period of time, he just slept for a while, and so much else happened in the court. That old imperial history of Duan Cao, Wang Chong had some impressions in his heart.

He is the head of the Duan family in the capital, and the Duan family is known as the imperial history family and has a very high reputation.

However, in Wang Chong's impression, Duan Cao had retired very early in his previous life and did not care about the world. Unexpectedly, in this life, he actually rushed to the court for himself, and argued with the king of Qi and the ministers on the basis of reason.

"Find a time another day, and my nephew will come to thank him in person!"

Wang Chong said.

"No!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Qian shook his head and rejected Wang Chong's proposal without hesitation. After taking a sip of tea, he calmly put back the tea tray, and then spoke:

"The old imperial history is a real loyal minister, and it is precisely because of this that the Duan family is called the imperial history family, and it is the iron coupon golden book of the former emperor. Moreover, the old imperial history's style of acting is not right for people. The reason why he helps you is not because he has a special favor for you, but because it is beneficial to the country and society. Therefore, he can refute and educate his own heirs in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and strongly recommend and support you. ”

"You go to the door now to thank you, I'm afraid that the next moment, what the old imperial historian will do is to retract his previous decision and impeach you in front of the Holy Emperor! The old imperial history has closed the door, and unless he wants to come out, no one will see him. ”

Wang Gan said with a smile.

Wang Chong was stunned, and his heart suddenly became awe-inspiring.

A person like Lao Yushi is a real courtier! Any kind of thank-you seems superfluous.

"The friendship of the villain is sweet, and the friendship of the gentleman is as light as water, even if the old imperial history does not want to see the guest, then I will repair a book to express my gratitude. ”

Wang Chong said.

"Hmm. That's fine. ”

Wang Gan pondered for a moment, and this time he did not veto it again. The old imperial history argued with reason in the court discussion, and Wang Chong thanked him by letter, which was also regarded as a friendship of books and ceremonies, and achieved a friendship of forgetting the year.

"By the way, three days later, His Majesty summoned him at the palace and gave him a reward. When it comes to the etiquette of the audience, you must not be negligent, otherwise, even if you accept the reward, you will be attacked by the ministers afterwards and fall into a great charge of disrespect. In the future, it will also be extremely detrimental to your career. ”

Wang Yan said in a deep voice.

Wang Chong's reward this time is not trivial, this is a reward personally awarded by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, which is completely different from ordinary rewards. This represents the grace of Heaven and is a great honor.

"I have found a man for you, and when the time comes, he will tell you all the etiquette to be done. Don't be careless. ”

"Hehe, no need. King Song has already arranged it for me. ”

Wang Chong smiled slightly.

In this regard, King Song's side is indeed a prophet, although others are not in Beijing, but all the things in this regard have been arranged, and there is no need for Wang Chong to worry about it.

"Oh, that's better!"

A look of surprise flashed in Wang Gan's eyes, and then he smiled and nodded.

When it comes to trivial matters such as audience etiquette, he didn't talk to King Song in advance. Even if King Song has an arrangement, it would be even better.

Wang Gen soon left the Wang family's mansion.

And immediately after, Wang Chong also sent someone to pick up the old official of Honglu Temple that King Song said. For the next few days, Wang Chong stayed in the mansion and studied with him all kinds of etiquette for audiences and rewards.

......

Although it has been a few days since Wang Chong returned, the festive atmosphere in the capital has not only not diminished in the slightest, but has become more and more enthusiastic.

In the streets and alleys, restaurants and tea shops, there is talk of this young hero of the Tang Dynasty everywhere. And about the court dispute in the court, as well as the grievances and grievances between the Wang family and the Yao family, the King of Qi also spread.

And the bits and pieces of Wang Chong's past, including the things that once robbed the people's daughters, have all been dug up, and the past is also regarded as Wang Chong's deliberate Taoguang to hide his edge.

And about Wang Chong's battle in the southwest, the Great Qin Ruozan, the return of the fire tree to Tibet, and the situation of Mengshe's edict to the generals, it has also been rumored to be the talk of storytellers on the streets.

In the mouths of these storytellers, Wang Chong has become a legend that he can block a thousand with one and ten thousand, can turn stones into gold, and has immortal means.

However, in the end, all the legends have gathered into one point, that is, Wang Chong's reward. Even the envoys of various countries in Beijing, Hu Shang gathered over, wanting to inquire about the Holy Emperor's reward for Wang Chong.

β€œ...... If you want me to say, that prince has made such a great contribution, at least he must be crowned a general. ”

"Hey, the general is a piece of, if you want me to see it, he should be knighted. Only knighthoods can be passed on. ”

"But the imperial court has not been knighted for a long time, and it is difficult to find a knight, and the Ministry of Rites has even vetoed the viscount's reward, let alone others. ”

"Hehe, it's because it's few, that's why it's sealed. Wang Gongzi's great contribution is not something that ordinary people can do. If you don't make a knighthood, how can you show the emperor's favor? By the way, tell me what kind of knighthood the emperor will give if he is knighted?"

"In my opinion, at least a viscount. ”

"How can a viscount be enough? or an earl, on par with the ministers of the court. ”

......

Restaurants, tea shops, streets and alleys, there are many discussions everywhere. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Datang used to give rewards in a big way, but the further it went, the more the rewards for various titles shrank.

By the time of this dynasty, it was already very cautious. Even many first-class officials in the court have only one earl's reward.

Therefore, among the Beijing divisions, the "earl" has become an invisible watershed, and the reward under the "earl" is still relatively easy, but it is extremely difficult for the "earl" to go up. Compared with the beginning of the founding of the country hundreds of years ago, the increase in difficulty cannot be counted reasonably.

In everyone's speculation, Wang Chong's reward should at least reach the position of "earl", but it is not so easy to go up, I am afraid that the first one on the Ministry of Rites will not agree.

Three days passed in a flash, and with the arrival of Wang Chong's time to meet the Holy Emperor, the festive, lively and festive atmosphere in the capital also reached its peak.

"Boom!"

When the gate opened, Wang Chong wore a bright red dress and a crown, and walked out of the Wang family's mansion, and suddenly a crowd cheered like a landslide.

"Wang Chong! Wang Chong!"

......

Outside the gate of the Wang family, I don't know how many people in the capital gathered there, men, women and children, businessmen and pawns, one by one, shouting, their faces were flushed, and the sound was higher and higher.

Looking at the crowd outside, even the servants and maids of the Wang family were excited.

However, unlike the servants and maids of the Wang family, Bai Siling, Zhao Hongying, and Huang Qian'er's eyes were all focused on Wang Chong.

Wang Chong returned from the southwest victory, and now he was rewarded by the Holy Emperor, as friends, Bai Siling, Zhao Hongying, and Huang Qian'er rushed to Wang's house early in the morning to see him off.

Although it was not the first day they had met, seeing Wang Chong's sword eyebrows, straight body, wearing a bright red dress, and a handsome appearance, the three of them couldn't help but light up, and their beautiful eyes were full of different colors.

Wang Chong wearing a red dress and Wang Chong on the battlefield, the spiritual temperament and the feeling are completely different, if Wang Chong on the battlefield is like an invincible god of war, then Wang Chong in front of him has restrained his heroic spirit, hidden his edge, and suddenly revealed another completely different kind of elegant atmosphere of literati.

The different feeling is more and more attractive.

"Hmph, don't look at the girl on the side of the road, be careful to gouge out your eyes. ”

Bai Siling glared at Wang Chong fiercely and said unceremoniously.

"Bang!"

Zhao Hongying, who was on the side, didn't speak, with a cold face, just turned the red tassel gun in his hand, the tip of the gun was pointing down, the handle of the gun was facing up, and it slammed to the ground, and he saw the hard ground in front of the gate of the Wang family, clicking, and it was split in an instant, and the demonstration was full of meaning.

Behind her, Huang Qian'er didn't say a word, and she couldn't see the slightest expression on her face, but the silver sword behind her buzzed and trembled like a threat in the sheath.

"With you here, where do I dare to mess around. ”

Wang Chong said with a smile.

"Okay, it's almost time for Chong'er to leave, and the time to meet the emperor can't be delayed. ”

Mrs. Wang watched from behind, smiling secretly in her heart, she also came from a girl, and she couldn't understand the thoughts of the three girls.

Boom, a gorgeous carriage inlaid with gold wire stopped on the side of the street, which was the carriage sent by the Ministry of Rites to greet it.

Wang Chong boarded the carriage and headed all the way to the palace.

After about a stick of incense, Wang Chong finally drove into the palace. This was not the first time Wang Chong had entered the palace, but this time the feeling was exceptionally different.

The golden palace wall is magnificent and magnificent, and under the palace wall, countless forbidden troops and palace guards have shiny armor, and they are majestic and solemn. But unlike usual, on their bodies, the positions of the left and right shoulders are tied with red festive ribbons.

Moreover, among the forbidden army and palace guards, there are also many officials of the Ministry of Rites.

This time the audience was not trivial, and everyone knew that the reward given by the Holy Emperor to Wang Chong would be extremely rich. This can be seen only from the solemnity of the etiquette of this visit.

The ornate carriage with gold wire stopped in front of the inner nine gates.

Wang Chong stepped out of the carriage, and what appeared in front of him was a huge golden palace gate, and two officials of the Ministry of Rites were wearing bright red dresses, one on the left and one on the right, standing next to the palace gate, with their heads slightly bowed, motionless.

Although it seemed careless, Wang Chong clearly felt that the eyes of the two had been glancing at him.

"What King Song said is indeed right. ”

Wang Chong smiled and didn't break it.

In the process of the Holy Emperor's reward and audience, there are many eyes staring at every step and every moment, and the slightest rude will be recorded by bystanders and become a reason for being impeached and attacked in the future.

Many scholars who came to the audience for the first time did not know this, and in the end they were caught by the Ministry of Rites and fell short.

Wang Chong already knew these things clearly from the old official of Honglu Temple.
