Chapter Twenty-Nine: Becoming an Official

After sitting down, Wang Ke raised his eyes and took a look, only then did he know that his father and son were not the only ones who were recruited.

At the head of my father sat a civil official, whose face could not be seen clearly because his back was facing him. However, Wang Ke knew that he definitely didn't know him, after all, although the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court basically came when the furniture store opened, and he had seen it himself, but there were too many people at that time, and he had never seen it again since Wang Si introduced it, and now he must not be able to tell who is who when he sees himself again.

Wang Ke, the four people sitting opposite, looked at it, and there were three of them who knew him, the first was the military department Shangshu and Wei Guogong Li Jing, the second was the governor of Bingzhou and the British prince Li Ji, and the fourth was Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie, only the third one was not familiar with him, but he vaguely remembered that he came to the furniture store with the above three people last time, but he forgot who it was.

Comrade Li Er coughed and said: "The matter of matching stirrups and horseshoes with war horses that the Wang family boy said a few days ago has been tried in the army by the Ministry of War in the past few days, and it is very applicable, and this will play a great role in marching operations." ”

"Your Majesty, this method is very useful."

Li Jing took over and said: "These two things don't cost much, but because they play a big role, the loss of our army's war horses has been reduced by at least fifty percent, and this figure is still in the current stage of deploying military horses, if it is on the battlefield, because of the role played by these two things, the loss of soldiers and war horses can not be estimated." Since the last time Wang Xian's nephew made a sand table for the imperial court, the ministers and General Li Ji and General Cheng Zhijie went to the palace of Lord Wang to deduce with the virtuous nephew, and the ministers saw that Wang Xian's nephew was very insightful about the military journey, and the ministers recommended Wang Xian's nephew to serve in the army to better advise the Tang Dynasty. ”

After Li Jing finished speaking, Li Ji and Cheng Zhijie also echoed beside him.

Comrade Li Er looked at Wang Ke, turned his head and asked, "Jingde, what do you think?" ”

Only then did Wang Ke know that this general, who he couldn't remember clearly, was the Duke of Hubei who had saved Comrade Li Er's life, made great efforts in the "Xuanwumen Change", and would become one of the two major gods in the people's family in the future.

Wei Chi looked at Wang Ke and said to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, although the ministers have not seen the process of deduction between Wang Xian's nephew and the generals, nor have they heard with his own ears the strategy of waging war against the Turks that Wang Xian's nephew said, but through the generals' accounts and the deduction of the strategy of controlling the enemy according to the generals' description, it can be seen that Wang Xian's nephew is indeed a good talent. It's a good idea to be in the army. ”

When Wang Ke heard what these murderers said about him, he only felt a chill, and bursts of cold air kept coming out of his vest.

I know how many bowls of dry rice I can eat, if in the next life, I will go to the battlefield after being a soldier for a few years, and if I can't get it, I can still find enough money, and if I get it well, I can make a lot of money. But it is impossible to be an officer; But the virtuous nephew is in the era of cold weapons, he doesn't know anything, and it is difficult to even ride a horse, if he really wants to enter the military, once he goes to the battlefield, he can only go to see God.

was about to speak, but saw Comrade Li Er speak again, so he quickly closed his mouth and listened to Comrade Li Er say: "Wuji, you talk about it." ”

Oh, this civil official is the elder brother of Empress Changsun, the current servant, that is, one of the prime ministers, Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao Guo, and the father of Sun Chong, the princess of Changle. A sinister and cunning, ruthless man, who will attack Li Ke in the future.

Wang Ke quietly looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, wanting to hear what he thought of him.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said, "The minister doesn't understand military affairs, but I believe that the generals will not look away. However, (if you say anything, you will be in trouble), I appreciate the poetry of Wang Xian's nephew. It seems that Wang Xian's nephew is not only successful in martial arts, but also has considerable attainments in literature. To be honest, if it is a waste to put Wang Xian's nephew in the army, it is to be a civilian official, and Wang Xian's nephew is also qualified. Of course, I didn't mean to rob people with the generals, I really like Wang Xian's nephew's talents. ”

This sounds very bright, but when you taste it, it has another meaning.

Why? This is related to the system of the Tang Dynasty at that time. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the war was settled, but the surrounding ethnic groups were ready to move, in this case, the weight of the military generals was heavier than that of the civil ministers, and Comrade Li Er himself was an immediate emperor, so the promotion with military merits became the best way to rise.

There is another reason, that is, the court has a system, and a family cannot have two people in the court at the same time as officials (specifically referring to civil officials), if this situation occurs, there must be one person to send one person outside the capital.

Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji proposed to Comrade Li Er that Wang Ke be a civil official, which was actually to force Wang Si to either go out or resign and go home.

Because Comrade Li Er will not let Wang Ke go out if he is an official, he will definitely stay by his side, then Wang Si can only leave.

But Wang Si is a dignified member of the court and a third-grade official, and it is not suitable to be sent anywhere, so there is only one way to go, that is, to resign and go home to retire.

How could Wang Ke not know the truth in this, he knew that he was present today, and Wang Si could not come forward to shirk himself, coupled with the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wang Si couldn't speak, he could only betray himself.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Ke got up from the chair, walked to the middle and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people know that they can't do anything, and everything can only be done with their mouths and tongues. Just now, Lord Changsun said that the grass people have some talents, and that is really an adult's high esteem. Compared with the talent of governing the country and the country, the poetry and painting are just small skills of carving insects, and they cannot be compared. What is needed to govern the country and level the world is talent, just like the emperor and the eldest grandson have such talent, and the grass people are really not good. ”

"The generals are very grateful to the grass people for their love for the grass people, but the grass people know that they can't go into battle to kill the enemy, and they can only add chaos to the army, which will do all kinds of harm but not benefit. On that day, the grass people dared to discuss with the generals, which was really bold, and it was also due to luck, and the nonsense they said actually entered the ears of the generals. It's scary. If the emperor really thinks that the grass people have so much merit, just reward some money, my family is poor, so I want some money, and I don't have to be an official. The grass people are lazy, they can't get up in the morning, if the official is late for the morning, they must not break the emperor's dragon body, then the grass people will be a big crime, and please ask the emperor to make a holy judgment. ”

Stinky boy, there is still a person who speaks in front, the more he talks, the more unseemly he becomes, and in the last few words, everyone shook their heads when they heard it, and Wang Si had a black line on his face, and he couldn't wait to step forward with a few slaps, so that he would be sober and sober, and he knew what this place was.

Unexpectedly, Comrade Li Er laughed out loud, pointed at Wang Ke and said to Wang Si: "Wang Qing, your kid is very interesting, and his personality is very similar to my third son." ”

Wang Si hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Ke'er is young, and she hasn't been back for a long time, so she is not familiar with my Tang Dynasty etiquette. ”

"The young man is honest, how can I blame him. Wang Qing doesn't have to be like this, sit down. Comrade Li Er waved his hand and asked Wang Si to sit down.

looked at Wang Ke and said: "Don't pretend in front of me, you kid, I can reward you with money, and you have to be a good official, just to see if you are placed in the civil official or the military general." ”

Hearing this, Wang Ke really had no choice, and he didn't know what to say, so he saw Cheng Zhijie stand up, walked in front of him, and said to himself: "Boy, you should come to the army obediently, otherwise your Uncle Cheng will not agree." After saying that, he shook his big fist.

Seeing this, Li Jing also stood up, and scolded Cheng Zhijie with a smile: "You old murderer, you are not afraid of scaring him like this, I am afraid that you will beat him and run away to become a civil official, and you will not come back and sit down." ”

After speaking, he hugged his fist at Comrade Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, just now a few of us discussed it, and I still think that putting Wang Xian's nephew in the army can better play his role. ”

Wang Ke was really shocked when he heard that he was asked to be the commander of the sexual army, this is from the official position of the fourth grade, and compared with the civil official, it is equivalent to the fourth grade of the civilian official, and it is not much worse than his father Wang Si.

Comrade Li Er thought for a while and said to Wang Ke: "Boy of the Wang family, are you willing to serve in the army?" ”

Wang Ke rolled his eyes and said in his heart, "What if you don't want to?" It's better than going to be a civil official, and being a civil official will drive my father home. ”

But he said respectfully: "It's all up to the emperor, the grass people, no, the ministers don't dare to disobey." ”

"Okay, Wang Ke listens." Comrade Li Er said loudly: "Feng Wang Ke is the chief of the march of the Right Guard, you don't need to go to the court if you have nothing to do, and you can go with the news if you have something." When there is nothing to do in the army, you can not respond, but if there is any good plan, you must report it at any time, and reward another 5,000 yuan, ten pounds of gold and silver, and fifteen horses of silk. These items will be sent to your house tomorrow with the Holy Decree. ”

Wang Ke hurriedly knelt down to thank Tianen, got up and walked behind Wang Si, only to find that the chair was gone.

At Wang Si's suggestion, Wang Ke found that the seat had been moved to the next place of Cheng Zhijie, and he hurriedly walked over and sat down.

Comrade Li Er also relaxed at this time, and said to everyone: "I have been talking about things for a long time just now, I have been listening to my sons and daughters say how powerful the poems of the Wang family kid are, and Wuji also said the same just now, why don't you come here and let us all listen to it?" ”

Not to mention Comrade Li Er, even Wang Si has never heard Wang Ke's poems, and when the virtuous nephew saw what the emperor said, he hurriedly said: "It's true, I haven't heard of Ke'er yet, today the emperor is happy, Ke'er will come to a song, and listen to it for my father." ”

Wang Ke saw that Li Erdu had spoken, and he couldn't help it, so he stood up and said: "The emperor wants to listen, of course, the minister can't shirk." As soon as the minister entered the army, he should have a scene. It just so happens that the minister also became this official because of his meritorious contribution to the Turkic war, so let's take this as a guide, and ask the emperor and the adults to correct. ”

After finishing speaking, he bowed to the people present and then said: "Angry hair rushes to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rests." Looking up, looking up to the sky and roaring, strong and intense. Thirty years of fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad. ”

"The white horse is ashamed, and it is still snowing. When the courtiers hate, when will they be destroyed! Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. To clean up the old rivers and mountains from the beginning, towards the sky. ”

Wang Ke knew that his recitation of the first half of the Que was very in line with Comrade Li Er's state of mind, and the second half of the "Jingkang Shame" was also cleverly replaced by "White Horse Shame", because he knew that the "White Horse Alliance" was an eternal pain in Comrade Li Er's heart.

Sure enough, I saw Comrade Li Er stand up and say, "Good words!" wrote about our determination to fight against the Turks, and it was really talented, but you Aiqing didn't look at the wrong person. That's all for today. After speaking, he was still immersed in Wang Kenian's Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong".

Everyone quit and congratulated Wang Ke. Cheng Zhijie said with the face of a boss: "Come and report as soon as the holy decree arrives tomorrow, otherwise the military law will be engaged." Saying that, a few old killers burst into laughter, and Wang Ke could only smile bitterly. When I returned home, talking about today's experience, everyone at home was even more happy, and Dongyue was even more happy, crying happily, which made Wang Ke take advantage of it again.
