0427 and discernment
Liu Pei immediately arched his hand and said, "Then I wish Brother Wang an early high school!" ”
Wang Rui is just 26 years old this year, and he is already a lifter. He is already married, and he will get married next year regardless of whether he is in high school or not. At his age, it is definitely very low compared to many candidates, so his intelligence can be seen. But at this time, Liu Pei no longer had the idea of tempting Wang Rui. Because Wang Rui seems to be obviously more interested in taking the Jinshi exam.
The following conversation will be interesting. Wang Rui had already understood that Liu Pei was fooling him just now, so he began to understand Liu Pei's next plan again. Liu Pei didn't plan to hide it from them anymore at this time. Anyway, in the future, it will be a person who will share blessings and misfortunes. Liu Pei took out a map of Southeast Asia and began to tell it in detail.
In Liu Pei's mouth, all kinds of rare birds and beasts, exotic flowers and plants, precious minerals and other things continued to enter Wang Rui's ears. Wang Rui himself is a young man, and it is the time when curiosity is strong. When Liu Pei said this, he had long forgotten the original purpose, and gradually began to believe in Liu Pei's plan to expand overseas.
Not only that, but he instead lay on the map and studied the plan of how to enter with Liu Pei. Although it sounds a bit bookish, I have to say that many of the goals Wang Rui said coincide with Liu Pei's goals. It can be seen that Wang Rui is not a reader who reads dead books. Maybe Wang Changde also taught him a lot of things on weekdays. All he lacked now was experience. But Liu Pei is not in a hurry. After he smashed the pot in the imperial examination a few times, he naturally lost his heart. When the time comes, I still have to work for Liu Pei honestly.
As soon as the two said this, they talked until midnight. In the end, Liu Pei said: "Time is not short! Brother Wang, let's go and rest early. I can tell Lord Wang what I said today, but I can't enter the ears of others again! Remember! Remember! ”
Wang Rui realized that it was very late, so he reluctantly said goodbye to Liu Pei and returned to the camp. Seeing Wang Rui out of the camp, Liu Pei sighed secretly. He knew that Wang Rui was fooled, but Wang Changde definitely couldn't be fooled! That's an old bureaucrat who has been through the storm! He absolutely did not believe that Liu Pei had placed thousands of people in Shandong in order to traffic goods! So it was decided that before Wang Changde's father and son returned, they would have a good talk with Wang Changde.
As soon as Wang Rui returned to the camp, he was reprimanded by Wang Changde, who was in a hurry. After the reprimand, Wang Changde asked, "I've been going for so long, what do you gain?" ”
Wang Rui said: "Father, don't worry! My brother-in-law really doesn't have the idea of rebelling in Daming. He used Daming as a last refuge. ”
Then he told Liu Pei and him in detail, and finally told his father: "Don't say it."
Get out! It's all top secret. ”
The angry Wang Shangde knocked on his head and said, "Have you asked anything more important?" ”
Wang Rui immediately reacted and said, "Asked, asked!" He said that when we returned to Shandong this time, he would go to propose marriage. When the time comes, the marriage will be decided first, but it will be a little later when you get married. ”
Wang Changde was relieved when he heard this. After all, a good son-in-law like Liu Pei is indeed rare. The daughter married in the past is a proper princess. However, there is one thing that Wang Changde has come to mind again. When Liu Pei married his daughter, he married his daughter as a military attache of the Ming Dynasty. Or do you marry your daughter as the king of the Ryukyus?
Thinking of this made Wang Changde scratch his head. He glanced at Wang Rui, who had already gone to bed, and scolded him for being unreliable in his heart. Then I felt that the time was quite sufficient, and I could talk to Liu Pei again in the future. Thinking of this, Wang Changde went to bed directly.
Early the next morning. The convoy returned as fast as possible. As soon as he returned to Liu Pei's camp, Fang Degang greeted him. The two sides briefly exchanged pleasantries and had something to eat, and several people entered a state of discussion.
Wang Changde is worthy of being an old bureaucrat. He took Liu Pei and Fang Degang's plan and skimmed it, and pointed out a lot of things to them. Even the factional strife in the court is clear. And this is exactly what Liu Pei and Fang Degang don't know.
You must know that the court has never been monolithic. Once you find the wrong person, and if someone next to you blocks you, good things can be done for you, not to mention, this canonization is a thing that cannot be lost for Liu Pei.
In two days, Wang Changde sorted out the whole thing. And he also explained the rules of the imperial court to everyone in detail, which made the two of them inexplicably grateful.
When the big event was decided, Liu Pei set up a banquet to entertain Wang Changde and his son. After this feast, they will be sent back to father and son. They had been away from home for nearly a month, and the family must be worried.
After three rounds of drinking, Wang Changde slowly shifted the theme of the painting to the marriage. Wang Changde is worthy of being a seasoned official, and there is no trace of changing the topic, but he can actually make people feel that he took the initiative to change the topic. However, since the topic was mentioned here, Liu Pei officially said to Wang Changde: "Lord Wang, Xiaguan will stay overseas for a while. When this is over, I will return to Shandong and go to your house to propose marriage. ”
Wang Changde was very happy to get the official promise, but he did not forget what he thought about last night. So he said: "So, I don't know in which capacity Lord Liu is going to propose marriage?" ”
Liu Pei hadn't thought about this problem before. was mentioned by Wang Changde, he was really stunned! I thought about it for a long time
Only then did he say: "I'm afraid I still have to use the identity of the Ming military attache to propose marriage." ”
Wang Changde was a little unhappy when he heard it. After all, it is self-evident which is bigger, a Jiaozhou garrison or the king of the Ryukyus. But Wang Changde asked quietly on his face: "Do you still have any big moves in the Ryukyus?" ”
Liu Pei also understood what Wang Changde meant. This is vaguely forcing the palace. Wang Changde's mind is that although my daughter is destined to marry you, she must be beautiful.
Liu Pei thought for a moment and said directly: "I do have great movements in the Ryukyus!" Although I am king in the Ryukyus, the Ryukyus are too small to accommodate my ambitions. I'm going to open up to the open sea. The next step is Taiwan, followed by the South China Sea Islands. If I fail, Shandong will be my last place to stay. I can guarantee that although I can't reveal my identity for the time being, I will definitely be able to make the young lady get married! ”
Wang Changde was a little unhappy when he heard this. Just wanted to say something, Liu Pei said directly: "And Lord Wang, have you ever thought about it, Daming is now an eventful time!" In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters occur frequently. Even a young person like the Smelling Fragrance Sect dared to jump out and watch the artifact. And outside the Daming Pass, the Houjin Tartars are reckless, and the Mongolian Tartars are ready to move! Xia Guan is really worried that something unbearable will happen to Daming! So I left behind the identity of a Jiaozhou garrison. On the one hand, to protect my trade routes; On the other hand, you can protect the safety of Lord Wang's whole family! ”
Wang Changde was also shocked when he heard this! He is also a well-read character in history books, although he is used to being at ease on weekdays, but when he was reminded by Liu Pei at this time, he immediately remembered what he looked like at the end of the dynasty! Isn't that similar to how many copies there are now?
Besides, the Ming Dynasty has been in the country for more than 200 years at this time, and there are very few dynasties that can reach 300 years! Is it really time for the Ding Revolution?
Wang Changde thought about it again and again, and his face was pale and uncertain. Liu Pei waved off the guards, and explained the situation he had mastered and analyzed, and painted a picture of the end of the dynasty! And Fang Degang kept knocking on the side, and Wang Changde's father and son were shocked when they heard it! At the same time, Wang Changde also had a trace of expectation in his heart; Can my daughter still have the life to be a queen?
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Changde nodded and said, "Okay, the rest of the things will be explained to my wife when I go home, and it shouldn't be a big problem." ”
Liu Pei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang, for your success." ”
Later, Liu Pei also told Wang Changde and his son to pay attention to confidentiality. Wang Changde naturally agreed. Subsequently, he did not stay in Ryukyu and returned to Shandong directly under Liu Pei's arrangement. However, he did not forget what he promised Liu Pei, and took Liu Dahai with him to teach.
