Chapter 78: Just be a good official

What Wang Shang saw was Liu Biao, his face was exactly the same as what his old man said, but he lacked the immaturity of the past, "Is this really the prince today?" ”

At this time, Wang Shang had already determined seven or eight points in his heart, "According to my seniority, I can also be regarded as Liu Biao's uncle, otherwise I will go forward to say hello first and confirm it?" ”

Thinking of asking him like this, he refused to tell his identity, and after observing it with a trick, Wang Shang decided on the spot and walked directly to several people.

Without waiting for Liu Biao to speak, Wang Shang knelt directly in front of Liu Biao, "Little nephew, I don't know how the queen in the palace is?" Wechen was very worried, Wechen had met with his little nephew a few times, and asked his nephew to let him know. ”

Wang Shang's move was very accurate, and it did not reveal Liu Biao's identity, and also found out the relationship, Liu Biao was quite surprised, and asked with some doubts: "Could it be that you are Wang Shang or someone else?" ”

"That's right, Weichen is Wang Shang, the third son of Wang Ban." Wang Shang said very sincerely.

Liu Biao got up and walked up to Wang Shang, and asked in a low voice: "I don't know if Wang Ban has come, this prince heard that his family education is very strict, but the situation is not what it is." ”

"This? This, my father discussed with Tao Gong outside the house, I don't know if my nephew can see him in the past? Wang Shang seemed to be a little helpless and said.

"It's okay, just call me Gongzi in the future, invite the old man up, tell him that he is a person in the palace, and don't tell my identity." Liu Biao said and sat back in his original seat.

Tao Ren saw Liu Biao returning to his seat, and asked cautiously: "Childe, most people already know your identity, so let's make it public, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"It's only troublesome to be public, everyone just knows it, so as not to disturb the local officials and arbitrarily levy the people's surplus food, just to entertain me, the prince, and the infamy can't help but be born."

"What the son said is, Tao Qian, add some more tables and chairs, and also fill up some wine and food, so as not to snub the masters of the Wang family." Tao Ren said instead.

Tao Zhong and Tao Qian are not young now, and they are also familiar with their father in terms of dealing with people and things, so they immediately ordered them to add wine and turn the lights on again.

Wang Shang asked a few tentative questions, and knew that this person was the prince of the capital, but looking at his face was not very angry, he knew that Wang Yong's matter still had room to be solved, so he hurriedly ran towards Wang Ban's side.

At this time, the conversation between Tao Gong and Wang Ban was really something in the words, they were all half hidden and half hidden, their faces were kind, and their hearts were indeed strange and difficult to guess, Wang Shang came over, which made the atmosphere of the two of them a little relaxed.

"Tao Gong, let's talk about it later, the dog is back, there is something to discuss, please wait for a while." Wang Ban walked towards Wang Shang with a smile, and Tao Gong also sneered.

"How's it going? Is there a prince in that courtyard? Wang Ban asked expectantly.

"Dad, this is indeed the prince, and the retainer should not be mistaken, but the prince doesn't seem to be willing to reveal his identity, so he only calls him a son." Wang Shang said seriously.

Wang Ban stood in place and bowed his head slightly, "I think it must be the prince who is correct, when Wang Yong did something wrong in the capital, he had seen the prince, if it wasn't for the prince, he wouldn't be so afraid, now you go to verify it again, it can be seen that it is correct." ”

"Childe has already prepared tea inside, Daddy is talking inside, don't let the prince wait in a hurry." Wang Shang said while holding Wang Ban.

"What this is saying is that our Wang family has done too many things recently, and this is also my last chance to save face with a shy old face." Wang Ban said a little desolately, thinking that if he had more sons, he would have more opportunities to be promoted and make a fortune, but he never expected that the last chance to get rich would be by relying on his daughter, and his fate is really difficult to explain.

Tao Gong saw the two grinding and chirping behind him, and he was very disgusted in his heart, and immediately pouted and said: "Wang Shang also went in and said, I don't know what the situation inside is?" Do you want to let you in, or do you want to keep watch outside? ”

"Don't be angry with Tao Gong, the people inside naturally let us in, the children of the official family are our relatives, how can there be no reason not to see it, Tao Gong don't be surprised." Wang Ban said very indifferently.

"Alright then, let's talk inside." Tao Gong said reluctantly.

Wang Ban walked in the front, first saw the courtyard, and when he saw Liu Biao in the first place, he was a little surprised, he was really a character with the spirit of a son of heaven, and he had a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

Before Tao Gong sat down, Wang Ban directly kowtowed and bowed: "The old minister greets the prince and the prince, I don't know if the nobles in the capital are healthy?" The old minister has not entered Beijing for a long time, so he can't help but be a little worried. ”

"Grandpa Wang, get up, these are all outsiders here, why do you need to make this big gift." Liu Biao said lukewarmly.

Wang Ban got up a little frightened, and looked around, they were all young talents, Wang Ban was also a figure who had seen the world, and he recognized Feng Fengshi's young son at a glance, Tao Wanqian's baby pimple.

"I didn't expect so many people to come, it really made the old man a little impressed." In order to alleviate his embarrassment, Wang Ban said helplessly.

Liu Biao sat in the first place very conspicuously, among this group of people, except for Tao Gong, almost everyone present knew that Liu Biao was the prince, and Feng Jun and Tao Ren took the initiative to let Liu Biao sit in the first place, Tao Gong also knew that this kid was not simple, so he didn't ask anymore.

Liu Biao took two sips of warm tea, and then said to Wang Ban: "I have always asked the royal family style to be very strict, but why is it different from what I saw?" ”

"When I was in the capital, the children of the Wang family dared to make trouble in the capital, but fortunately, Your Majesty was wise and martial, and moved you to this place, but I didn't expect that you were not honest in the place, I just saw your Wang family bullying the local rich businessmen, is it possible that the world will be done for your Wang family?" Liu Biao said in a serious tone.

Wang Ban hurriedly waved his hand, "Master Qiyu, this matter is just the work of one person, and that beast Wang Yong has already dealt with it." ”

"Although there is only one person, but I think he is also a member of your Wang family, I don't know how the old man dealt with it, I just want to ask, is it faster to get rid of it, or is it because of family affection and refusal to kill it all? But I still have to give a word of advice, the spring breeze blows and grows. Liu Biao said meaningfully.

"This old decay knows, this is not just now cut off one of Wang Yong's arms, and he will not dare to be right up or down in the future, there is a little bit of laxity, the old decay will be removed directly, leaving no room for it, but I don't know where the prince lives tonight?" Wang Ban finally said what he meant.

Liu Biao sneered a little, "Does the old man think I can live in the same mansion as Wang Yong?" ”

"That definitely can't, we can arrange it for you somewhere else, in this case、、、" Before Wang Ban finished speaking, Wang Shang directly interrupted his words.

"Daddy, how can you arrange Childe somewhere else? If Gongzi is in the past, we will drive Wang Yong out of the palace, I don't know what Gongzi wants? Wang Shang is very good at opportunistic and said.

Liu Biao was very satisfied with this answer, but he didn't mean to go over, just nodded slightly, "What's that, let's eat first, and we'll talk about it later." ”

Tao Gong saw the scene in front of him clearly, although he didn't know what the origin of this official child in front of him was, but the father and son of the king were very respectful to him.

Since the Wang family gained power, their Tao family has not been as good as before, many businesses have been monopolized by the Wang family, and there are many slaves, many merchants in order to please the Wang family, are sold to her cheaply, and the slave market is seriously disordered.

If the lord of the Wang family takes a fancy to which piece of land, you don't want to return the property to its original owner, and it won't be finished until you are ruined, and many people will be displaced.

There is also a local folk song about the Wang family.

"The children of the palace are in the hub, and the countryside is not enough for the royal family."

"Once I return to my hometown of Yangping, the rich businessmen and the people all congratulate me!"

"It's not anger, it's not joy, I just want to keep my property."

The strict family style of the royal mansion was deliberately transmitted to the capital, but Wang Feng and the others were also reserved, and they only had those three generations of children, so it was not easy to deal with.

Tao Gong felt that this official disciple was the best person to solve this matter, and when he saw that everyone was not talking, he immediately spoke: "Yangping used to be very good, but now the weather is a little bad, not as warm as before?" ”

Liu Biao also heard that something was wrong, so he looked at it and said: "Tao Gong has lived in Yangping for a long time, he must know the reason, you might as well tell me, how cold is the weather in Yangping?" ”

"Some things are hard to say, please feel it yourself." Tao Gong pretended to be mysterious and said, after all, he felt the same way, even if he was vivid, he just left a few tears, and then he sang and danced, and he didn't know.

Wang Ban reacted the fastest, and he also saw Tao Gong's intentions, obviously using this matter to dispose of himself, but thinking about it on the other hand, he was the grandfather of the crown prince, how could he deal with himself, it was nothing more than a few words of comfort on the surface.

Liu Biao knew that Tao Gong wanted to investigate by himself, but his maternal grandfather was here, so it was naturally not good to go out in front of him to investigate the specific situation.

So, Liu Biao waved his hand at Feng Jun next to him, "That Xiao Feng, aren't you fine?" I heard that you have always loved to learn, and there are many great Confucians in this Yangping, you can visit them. ”

Feng Jun bowed slightly, "That's all?" ”

"No, what Tao Gong said, you can take a general look, of course, if it's not too important, don't report it." Liu Biao said with a wink.

Feng Jun only knew a little bit of the meaning, so he got up and left, "Then you guys use it here slowly, Feng Jun will leave first, I don't know where Gongzi is going at night?" Feng Jun naturally followed. ”

"Just arrange a house here, as for whether to go to the palace and wait for the old man Wang to clean up the filth in the house tomorrow, I don't know what the old man thinks?" Liu Biao said very meaningfully.

"Naturally, when the banquet is over, I'll arrange it." Wang Ban couldn't help but say with some embarrassment.

As soon as Feng Jun left, Liu Biao's face was uncertain, "I heard that Tao Gong's words just now have a little deep meaning, since Tao Gong is unwilling to say it directly, then I will ask the old man." ”

"Dare to ask Mr. Wang, your family is also promoted because of the queen, so you also pay attention to etiquette, which everyone knows."

"But being an official, after all, is different from serving the people, I don't know how Old Man Wang thinks he should be an official after so many years?" Liu Biao asked sharply.

Wang Shang heard this on the side, and his right hand holding the teacup was also trembling, Wang Ban patted Wang Shang a little unpleasantly, "Childe asked me, and he didn't ask you, what are you shivering!" ”

"That's what Daddy taught." Wang Shang had no choice but to put down the teacup, and then put his hands under the table with some trembling.

Seeing this, Liu Biao asked again: "Has the old man thought about it?" ”

"Think about it, think about it, the matter of being an official is just four words, be an official well, and have nothing else to think about." Wang Ban replied very calmly.

"Just be an official well, I don't know who is good for being an official, is it for yourself? Or for the people. Liu Biao said a little unhappily.

"This is naturally for the people, the people." Wang Shang took his father's words and said.

After listening to these words, Liu Biao didn't ask any more, "I have already had a few meals with Tao Gong earlier, and now I will listen to the music and eat some food, the old man is old, so let's go back and rest first." ”

"In that case, let's take our leave." Wang Shang immediately helped Wang Ban to get up, and hurriedly saluted Liu Biao.

"Etiquette is waived, when I was in the capital, I had a good impression of your Wang family, but unfortunately, I was disappointed even five times, I just hope that it will not be like yesterday in the future." Liu Biao suddenly raised his voice and said.

"This is nature, definitely." Wang Ban wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Tao Ren saw the back of Wang Ban leaving, and he couldn't help but sneer, "The son is such a righteous murderer!" ”

"This is not the destruction of relatives, this is called rectification." Liu Biao said very seriously.

Wang Ban and Wang Shang came out of the Tao Mansion, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, "The momentum of the prince is really scary, Wang Yong, this kid is really a tumor of the Wang family!" ”

"Help me go back first, send Wang Yong out of the mansion overnight, and streamline all the maids in the mansion, arrange accommodation overnight, or send them to other counties, so as not to be checked by the prince, and all the land of unknown origin in the village will be given to others, and it is best to return it to the original owner." Wang Ban said anxiously.

"Dad, this is a bit too much, the prince is just asking, is it really necessary to do something to us?" Wang Shang said with some suspicion.

"Let me ask you, are you from the royal family?" Wang Ban asked coldly.

Wang Shang no longer answered, and directly helped Wang Ban back to the mansion, arranged all the things, and tried to solve all the things that the prince could perceive.

Today's prince is not a child, and there are many emperors who executed his mother's family, and Emperor Wu directly killed Mrs. Gouyi, just to prevent his relatives, and Liu Biao is very likely to directly do it to his mother's family, so he has to guard against it, and he must not embarrass the queen.
