Chapter 118: Walk the Way
Gao Hong was overjoyed when he heard his words, he just had no way to see Wang Ziteng. As long as he saw Wang Ziteng, everything else was trivial, so he thanked Wang Gui again and again.
So the two chatted for a while, and Gao Hong explained the general process to Wang Gui, of course, which only said how hateful Xu Hu was and how innocent Wang Tao was, so that Wang Gui had something to say in front of Wang Ziteng. Wang Gui smiled and listened to him finish speaking, but he didn't fully believe his words, but since he received other people's money, he listened to the truth. Seeing that Gao Hong's words were almost finished, he stood up and said goodbye.
Gao Hong hurriedly stopped him and said, "Great butler, please go slowly, I have another gift for Madame." As he spoke, he asked people to take out the three-screen mirror table of the huanghuali carved phoenix wearing peony and reload it into the box in front of Wang Gui. Let Wang Gui take it back to the mansion and give it to his wife.
Wang Gui saw that this mirror table was really extraordinary, he had seen a lot of good things in the Wang family for so many years, but if you talk about the mirror table alone, none of them can compare to it. Take it back now, it can be regarded as an explanation to Mrs., and if Mrs. says a few good words next to her at that time, what can not be done about this matter?
Sure enough, three days later, Gao Hong received a notice from Wang Gui asking him to go to see Wang Ziteng at night.
In the evening, Gao Hong came to the gate of the palace and saw that Wang Gui was waiting for him there, so the two entered from the corner gate, and then crossed the three or five courtyards, and arrived at Wang Ziteng's outer study.
After a while, Wang Gui came out and asked him to go in to meet Wang Ziteng, but he waited outside the door and did not enter the study.
Gao Hong entered the study, only to see a middle-aged man sitting behind the bookcase, only to see that he had a simple appearance and a deep temperament, and a majesty came to him as he sat there. Comparing this person with Wang Tao is simply comparing the moon to the stars.
Gao Hong knew that it was Wang Ziteng in front of him, so he hurriedly went up and bowed down, "Villain, Xuanfu Town Military Sacrifice Wine Gao Hong greets Lord Wang." ”
Wang Ziteng was not as unattainable as he thought, but said to him gently: "There is no need to be polite here, please sit down quickly." ”
Gao Hong didn't shirk either, and said, "Sit down." He sat down gently on the chair next to him.
After Wang Ziteng sat down down, he still said to him with a gentle face: "I have a general understanding of what you said, and you have made things worse this time, and the Tatar Khan has been attacking the border for several months, but no news has reached the capital. This is still my nephew Jia Ke's heroism, keeping the Tatars out of Kaipingwei, otherwise this disaster would have been great. ”
Gao Hong hurriedly got up, bowed down again and said to Wang Ziteng: "Our Jiedu envoy already knows that we have done something wrong, and we feel very guilty in our hearts. That's why I was ordered to come to Beijing to excuse my lordship. Please mediate and let us tide over the difficulties. ”
After speaking, Gao Hong took out a stack of papers from his arms, and the top was Wang Tao's protégé's post. You must know that as soon as this post is handed over, he will be equivalent to joining Wang Ziteng's department, and he will be a person in Wang Ziteng's entrainment in the future.
Wang Ziteng took it and took a closer look. In addition to the post above, there are some silver tickets below that he didn't look at carefully.
Wang Ziteng was very happy that Wang Tao could send a protégé post. In this way, their faction has grown a lot. As for what Wang Tao entrusted him with, in his opinion, it was just a trivial matter. In a few days, I will go to Jiafu and talk about this matter from Jia Zheng. Give Jia Ke another future, and this matter will be over.
Wang Ziteng took the protégé's post and said to Gao Hong with a smile, "Now that we are a family, don't worry about these little things, I will go to Jiafu to say hello in two days." This incident should have never happened, but the kid of the Jia family, this time he did make a great contribution, and he repelled the Tatars twice to give him a position to appease him, otherwise the young man was young and vigorous, and he was afraid that something would happen. ”
When Gao Hong heard Wang Ziteng say this, he knew that Wang Tao was saved this time. As for Jia Ke's arrangement, he had already discussed it with Wang Tao before he came. At this time, seeing Wang Ziteng's proposal, he immediately stepped forward and replied: "Kaiping Wei Qianhu Jia Ke in this war with the Tatars, should be the first meritorious, we think that we can't bury talents, so we will protect the capital and promote Jia Ke as a garrison, promote Kaiping Wei to Kaiping Town, strengthen the city wall, as an important fortress on the first line of the Tatars, whether it is offensive or defensive in the future." Hoarding heavy troops here is all beneficial. ”
Wang Ziteng listened to his arrangement and felt very satisfied, so that there would be nothing to say on the Jia Mansion, as for the other concealment of military information and not reporting this matter, hadn't the prefect of Xuanfu Town already been disposed of? At the border gates, these things are not yet up to the commander-in-chief.
Wang Ziteng saw that it was very appropriate to deal with this matter in this way, as for the matter of offending Wenchen, when did these generals have been friendly with Wenchen.
So Wang Ziteng served tea to the guests, and Gao Hong also got the answer he wanted, so he said goodbye to Wang Ziteng.
Wang Tao's matter can be regarded as a successful solution. Although he will face the attack of Wenchen next, it is just a matter of a small prefect, with Wang Ziteng in front of him, Wang Tao should be in danger.
Wang Ziteng went to Jia's mansion the next day, and Jia Zheng met Wang Ziteng in his study.
Wang Ziteng told Jia Zheng about the past few months, and Jia Zheng heard that Jia Ke was in such a dangerous situation. He was angry on the spot and said to Wang Ziteng: "Uncle, I see that the people of the world have forgotten my Rongguo Mansion cleanly. If he is not severely punished this time, how will anyone know about my Rongguo Mansion in the future. ”
Wang Ziteng understands his feelings, but over the years, the strength of Rongguo Mansion has indeed declined greatly, if it weren't for some favors from Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan's protégés, I am afraid that he would have faded out of the aristocratic circle now.
But at this time, he couldn't be rash, so he persuaded him and said: "Cun Zhou, now is not the time to be rash, now you should think about how to get the maximum benefit for the house, although Brother Ke is now Kaiping Wei Qianhu, but he is only an official of the sixth grade." If you can take this opportunity, you will be able to upgrade several levels in a row, and there will be hope for the revival of Jiafu at that time. ”
Jia Zheng calmed down and thought about it. So he said to Wang Ziteng: "This time the eldest brother has been wronged, but our Jia family still has to focus on the overall situation, so let's just pass it this time." ”
Wang Ziteng heard that Jia Zheng had let Wang Tao go, a smile appeared on his face, and said to Jia Zheng: "Cun Zhou, it's right to think like this, this time Wang Tao also took out compensation, he sponsored the eldest brother to be promoted to garrison, this is already the official of the fourth grade, and when Cun Zhou sees him, he will have to salute him." ”
When Jia Zheng heard Wang Ziteng say this, he showed a smile: "I want to salute him, but I'm afraid he won't dare to accept it." ”
Since the two of them talked about it, they laughed again, and Mrs. Wang came out to prepare a banquet for them. After the two had a drink, Jia Zheng personally sent Wang Ziteng to the gate.
On the third day when Wang Ziteng went to Jiafu, the Son of Heaven listened to the government at the imperial gate, and Wang Ziteng sent Wang Tao's chapter to the emperor without being approved by the scholars in the upper study.
The emperor was furious when he saw Wang Tao's performance, he never thought that such a thing would happen, and these ministers were too bold. The border pass was attacked by the Tatar Khan for three months, and the border pass general had several copies of the book, but he was detained because he wanted to take revenge, which was repaid, and there was no emperor in the eyes of those people.
Originally, the emperor was dissatisfied with the expansion of Wenchen's power, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the tail, so he could only take out the noble generals to check and balance, and now Wenchen has made such a big mistake. Then there is a reason not to grasp and beat hard.
So the result of this matter was that Liu Yan, a scholar of the study room, was forced to give office, and Jia Ke was rewarded for his meritorious service in repelling the Tatars twice, and was promoted to four levels in a row and was promoted to the garrison of Kaiping Town to command 10,000 soldiers and horses.
