Chapter 64: Ambition
Wang Wenyan has a good friend named Wang An, who is the companion of the prince of the East Palace and is a eunuch. It is precisely because of this that he learned a lot of secret information in the court.
For example, Taisun is training soldiers. This matter, except for the top level of the bureaucratic system in China, few people have heard of it, but he knows about it through Wang An. This cannot but be said to be his luck.
However, even more fortunately, after he learned the news from Wang An, someone came to the door on the back foot, and the news brought by these two people made him even more happy, from this information, he got a glimpse of the emperor's grandson's intentions.
Wang Wenyan is undoubtedly a smart person, and he is still a very smart person, and if he is not smart, he will not be able to become one of the two major think tanks of the Donglin Party.
Usually smart people are ambitious, they are clever themselves, and they use their intelligence to play with their enemies in applause. Often, the lower the background, the stronger the desire to climb up. Wang Wenyan is such a typical representative.
The reason why he came out of his hometown, where he knew him very well, and accepted the invitation of Yu Youli in the criminal department, was a manifestation of this desire. He wanted to go higher. Of course, Yu Youli didn't help him for no reason, but wanted to use Wang Wenyan's business ability to help him pull a relationship.
It's just that after our Mr. Wang messed around for a while, he found that his usual methods had failed, and they didn't work.
Although Mr. Wang is smart and can do things, he has no fate in his fame, until he came to the capital, he was just a white body, not even a showman. Without the recommendation of his fellow countrymen in the same year, he would not have been able to become a guest of any bureaucrats in the capital, and no one would have wanted to see him.
I can't see each other, so how can I pull the relationship.
Not enough, Mr. Wang is not discouraged, just know where the crux is, and find a way to solve it. After calming down, he went around looking for people with potential but who were currently in a low position to invest.
Wang An is one of his investments.
Wang Wenyan is very smart, he knows that what he lacks is only an opportunity, an opportunity to let himself enter the house.
In the peaceful years of the feudal dynasty, what is the greatest credit. From the dragon's power, only from the dragon's power can people soar. The second revolves around the work of the dragon, and there will undoubtedly be infinite changes, what cup bow snake shadow, what civet cat for prince and so on.
And Wang An, who is the prince's companion, is undoubtedly the closest person to Conglong Gong, who Wang Wenyan has been able to get rid of so far. It is also the person who is most likely to bring him opportunities.
He thought that this opportunity would have to wait a long time. However, when the opportunity really came, he couldn't believe it for a while, as in a dream.
After pouring a sip of soju, Wang Wenyan's brain temporarily cooled down with the hot liquid. He pondered the opportunities it bringed.
At this time, it was already obvious that His Royal Highness Taisun used the attack case to meddle in military power and was able to train an army by himself, he did not transfer people from the command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, but chose to recruit by himself, and the way of recruitment was through Liu Bin and Luo Qing, collecting good families among the people.
Thinking of this, Wang Wenyan seemed to smell the bloody shark, and the whole person became excited, and there was a slight dizziness in his head. He was naturally sensitive to this kind of conspiracy and exchange of interests behind the scenes, and at this moment he couldn't help but wonder what role this imperial grandson played in the attack case, and what interests were involved.
But just after thinking about it a little deeply, he patted his head and detached his thoughts, now is not the time to think about this, it is true to think about how to benefit from Liu Bin's matter.
For some reason he didn't know, the imperial grandson stopped recruiting people. And listening to Liu Bin, it was originally going to recruit 300 people, but now it has stopped halfway, something must have happened.
So, what's going on?
Wang Wenyan thought about it carefully, and with his intuition, he felt that as long as he thought through this problem, he would definitely be able to catch the line of the emperor's grandson.
What is it exactly?
Wang Wenyan poured the wine one after another, and the stimulating liquid made his brain dizzy, but it also brought an exciting stimulus, making his brain faster than usual.
The Emperor's resistance?
Impeachment of civil officials?
The delay of the palace yamen?
One possibility after another, swirling in his mind, was crossed out by him. Countless complicated thoughts made him faintly have a headache. It's just that even so, because of the lack of information, he was never sure what made the imperial grandson stop recruiting.
Wait, I seem to be thinking in the wrong direction.
As if thinking of something, Wang Wenyan's action of pouring wine on his head stopped in vain, and he carefully began to recall the conversation with Liu Bin. However, his movements stopped, and the tilted wine glass did not listen, and the spicy liquid slowly flowed out of the small sips, little by little, dripping on his face, down the river, and soaking the entire placket.
Wang Wenyan, who was just deep in thought, didn't feel it at all, and still maintained this ridiculous posture as if someone had immobilized him.
%22If we don't recruit people, what use do we have for nobles? %22Liu Bin's complaining words flashed through his mind.
Yes, why bother thinking about what the reason, just be a useful person to the emperor's grandson?
Think about it, what is most lacking in military training?
Gradually, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he had already thought of a way. It can not only solve Liu Bin's problem, but also serve as a step for his own advancement.
%22 Woo Oooo %22
At dusk, there was a high-pitched chirping sound outside, and a trace of fish belly white appeared in the sky in the distance, and the whole sky gradually began to become transparent. He had been thinking all night.
After his thinking was clear, Wang Wenyan's whole person was in good spirits, and he seemed to have woken up even from drinking, without the slightest sense of malaise that he had stayed awake all night, but the whole person was in good spirits and dazzling.
He didn't rest, he got up and went out directly, heading towards Lingchun Fang.
When he came to the vicinity of the palace, he immediately saw Liu Bin and Luo Qing who were wandering there, and looking at their state, they had not slept all night and had been waiting here.
%22 Rest assured, leave everything to me, there will be absolutely no problem. %22 Without waiting for the two of them to ask, Wang Wenyan patted his chest and assured.
Gradually, the sun rose, and when it was about nine o'clock, the gate of the palace was open, and Wang Sheng accompanied Wei Zhongxian out.
%22 is the one, and the one with a white face and no beard is Steward Wei. %22The sharp-eyed Luo Qing directly said that Wei Zhongxian identified him. The three of them didn't pause, and walked straight over there.
It's just that before they arrived, Wei Zhongxian actually gave up his hand slightly, then said goodbye and waited for the carriage, and Wang Sheng, as the master, also closed the door of the mansion.
%22 is not good! %22Wang Wenyan secretly screamed that it was bad, and then yelled at Liu Bin: %22Stop the carriage quickly. %22
His voice was very loud, which made Liu Bin's ears tremble slightly. Liu Bin also knew at this moment that it was time for him to be in an emergency, and he couldn't care about his ears, so he shouted loudly, %22 The housekeeper stays, the housekeeper stays. %22
Liu Bin's voice was very loud and full of energy, and it stands to reason that Wei Zhongxian in the carriage definitely heard it, but the carriage did not pause at all, and walked away mercilessly.
Seeing this situation, Wang Wenyan was simply burned, he couldn't bear it, and the opportunity he had been waiting for was gone.
Under the urgency of the situation, his brain teaser turned sharply, and it really made him think of a way, %22 quickly, hurry up and call his father-in-law to stay. %22
Liu Bin next to him was still shouting, %22 The housekeeper stays, and the housekeeper stays. %22 didn't hear Wang Wenyan's words at all, and knew that the other party pinched his arm hard before he reacted.
%22 Father-in-law stays! %22 Liu Binye didn't know why he shouted like that, but Mr. Wang asked him to shout like this. On the contrary, it was Luo Qing next to him, when he heard the title of father-in-law, his pupils shrank, and he seemed to think of something.
It's not that Wang Wenyan doesn't want to shout by himself, it's just that during the run, he doesn't have the ability to shout loudly, this kind of rough work, let's leave it to rough people.
The title of father-in-law was really useful, Liu Bin just shouted a roar, and the carriage in front of him suddenly stopped, and turned the horse's head and drove back again.
Seeing this situation, Wang Wenyan was overjoyed, stopped, and began to tidy up his somewhat messy appearance because of running.
The carriage roared, and stopped in front of the three people, Wei Zhongxian opened the door curtain with a calm face, and asked in a cold voice: %22 Which one shouted that the father-in-law stayed just now. %22
That cold look actually made Liu Bin, an iron-beaten man, feel an indescribable chill, and he couldn't help but shiver.
%22 is exactly below. %22Wang Wenyan took a step forward and bowed with a smile on his face.
%22 Get on board! %22 Wei Zhongxian dropped a sentence and shrank back. Wang Wenyan didn't care, threw down a sentence %22 and handed everything to me, waiting for me to come back. %22 followed and got into the carriage.
The carriage turned around again and headed in the direction of the palace.
Wei Zhongxian is very unhappy now, very unhappy. He didn't know why, why it was so difficult to run an errand by himself, first he was beaten and his silver was robbed. This matter has not been resolved, and the master suddenly stopped recruiting people, and his errand stopped at night.
Without an errand, how can he talk about the other two to compare? This made Wei Zhongxian's heart even more angry.
What's even more cold and angry, the smiling guy in front of him just revealed his identity, and even said that there is a clever way to make the supper worry-free, and the money is not missing, but he asked him but kept silent.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian really wanted to beat him to death with a stick or throw his sleeves away. But he couldn't. If there is really a good idea, I didn't report it, and when others agreed to it, I would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
After thinking about it, he took this guy with him again, intending to take him to the palace. There is the unimpeded waist card given by supper, let alone one, he can also bring ten into it.
Along the way, Wei Zhongxian had a cold face, and anyone who saw it knew that he had a bad temperament at the moment. He was depressed until he saw Zhang Shize lying on a stretcher, his buttocks blooming, and he couldn't get up at the gate of the station, and he suddenly became cheerful.
He didn't seem to think he was so unlucky, at least he could run and jump.
