Chapter 138: Ascended

"Cut, Southern Barbarian!" A local scholar in Tokyo, wearing a splendid cotton robe, picked up a wine cup and sneered, took a sip, pouted, and said disdainfully.

"Hey, Brother Tian, why bother with a group of ambitious villains!" Another person at the same table raised his wine glass and touched it on the wine cup of the son surnamed Tian, and smiled and comforted. He turned his head and glanced at the person at Wang Jiangong's table, shook his head with a smile, and said so. However, the look of contempt in his eyes was undisguised.

When they spoke like this here, they naturally attracted the attention of Wang Jiangong and others on the side.

Hearing these words with obvious sarcasm, Wang Jiangong's face suddenly darkened. As he spoke, he had to stand up. The Jiangning students at the same table, seeing that Wang Jiangong was angry, hurriedly reached out and pressed his shoulder, and persuaded: "Brother Jiangong, why do you have to be like them!" Come on, come on, let's drink! ”

Wang Jiangong broke free of his companion's hand, his face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at his companion and said, "If you wait for a year, won't you even protect Jiangning's reputation?" Where do you put the face of tens of thousands of students in Jiangning like this? ”

As soon as Wang Jiangong's words came out, the people sitting opposite couldn't help but laugh. Even the students at the table frowned a little.

Wang Jiangong is a person, although he has some talent. But he is a bit mean, and Ping Suli's reputation in the circle of Jiangning students is not very good.

And this person is a bit snobbish! When the same group of students came to Tokyo, he boasted on the road about how influential the Wang family was in Tokyo. These words made those fellow Jiangning students feel a little uncomfortable.

When he arrived in Tokyo, he left his fellow students behind. Carrying a large bag and a small bag, he went to visit the officials who had something to do with his Wang family. However, at that time, because of the dispute between the Shu clan and the Shi clan, it had already begun to appear. Those officials who came out of the poor didn't want to be the first to come out at this time. So, after hearing that the descendants of Lord Wang came to visit. These officials just sent housekeepers and received them politely. Moreover, after the reception, the housekeepers did not accept Wang Jiangong's generous gift. It's just that now His Majesty severely punishes officials for taking bribes, so let's ask Wang Gongzi to take things back.

After such a shirk, Wang Jiangong ran to the mansions of more than a dozen officials. I didn't even see people's faces.

In the end, Wang Jiangong still returned to the Jiangning Hall in disgrace. I lived with these fellow Jiangning students. Those Jiangning students saw that Wang Jiangong had already spent a few dollars left. I kindly scraped together some and helped him tide over the difficulties.

Now, this Wang Jiangong has just been named by the Ministry of Officials and has become a petty official. He turned his face and didn't recognize anyone. He pointed to the friend who had helped him back then.

When these words came out, they immediately chilled the companions around them.

The student who pulled Wang Jiangong at first, after hearing this, glanced at Wang Jiangong in some astonishment, a reluctant smile appeared on his face, shook his head gently, and let go of his hand.

A few companions beside him smiled at him and signaled him not to meet Wang Jiangong in general.

And Wang Jiangong, who had already stood up and rolled up his sleeves, saw his companions around him, but instead of being provoked by his own words. Instead, they all lowered their heads and clinked glasses to each other to eat and drink. I suddenly became a little overwhelmed.

He originally thought that he would use what he had just said to provoke the anger of his companions and teach these Tokyo students who didn't know the height of the sky or the height of the earth a lesson. It's good to re-establish your prestige in the Jiangning student circle.

It's just, it's just, it doesn't seem like it's what I thought!

Wang Jiangong's eyes flickered, and he secretly turned his head to look at the Tokyo students who were staring at him. Seeing that the other party was not good, he muttered a few times, and finally snorted and sat down.

"Cut, what an eggless coward!" The son surnamed Tian at the table, seeing that the little white face was timid and didn't dare to look at him, he sneered and mocked disdainfully.

Hahaha!

The diners who watched the excitement around immediately laughed when they saw this scene.

"You!" Wang Jiangong slapped the table, stood up on the spot, and glanced at the laughing crowd around him. Turning his head, he pointed at this person, and trembled with anger: "Don't deceive people too much!" ”

"What about bullying you, little white face?" The son surnamed Tian stood up, stared at Wang Jiangong with unkind eyes, and laughed cruelly, the threat was self-evident.

"I, I, I'm a seven-rank official ordered by the imperial court, you are guilty of the following crimes!" Unfortunately, the other party is tall and big, and the companion doesn't seem to have any intention of helping. Wang Liye was still a little timid in his heart, and he didn't dare to step forward to fight with the other party.

However, such a retreat is a little unwilling. With a sharp change of mind, he immediately moved out of his quasi-official status and wanted to use his identity to oppress others.

"Haha!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, this son surnamed Tian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head and laughed. While laughing, he pointed at Wang Jiangong with disdain and scolded: "A big official, he dares to come out and show off!" It's really a laugh to death! ”

And the scholar at the same table as him also sneered. However, this man's words are even more vicious. He first glanced at Wang Jiangong, who was pale, and then lowered his head, counted with his hands, and said to himself: "I really didn't expect that there would be a seven-rank petty official at the feet of this Tianzi." What a ridiculous thing in the world! Ha ha! ”

The son surnamed Tian smiled and nodded, pretending to be surprised and said to Wang Jiangong, whose face was the color of pig liver: "Hey, I said this lord, take out the official seal and let me wait and see, this son is so big, I haven't seen what the seven-grade official seal looks like!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiangong was speechless.

He had just received a notice from the Ministry of Rites that His Majesty had appointed him as a seven-rank official. After learning the news, he was overjoyed, so he took a few companions who were usually able to speak, and came out to drink and celebrate.

However, the official seal has not yet arrived!

Now, these Tokyo students suddenly asked to see his official seal. immediately forced Wang Jiangong, who was about to suppress people with his identity, into a corner.

Wang Jiangong's eyes were full of anger, staring at these people deadly. The thin body trembled sharply.

In the end, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, but he still forced down his anger. Therefore, he made a disdain to see with him, and talked to himself, and the official disdained to be knowledgeable. So saying, he did so, and poured himself a drink from his cup.

However, Wang Jiangong wanted to calm the fight. It doesn't mean that the other party wants to.

Seeing this two hundred and five from the south, such a cowardice. The boy surnamed Tian had a sneer on his face. He looked at Wang Jiangong gloomily and sneered: "I think, you are an imposter at all, boy, you are not small." He dared to pretend to be a court official at the foot of this Son of Heaven. Hum. ”

He stared at Wang Jiangong, whose face had changed greatly, smiled coldly, turned back and greeted the door: "Come on, take this imposter down to my son!" ”

With a hula, a group of families in green clothes and hats broke into outside the store.

Wang Jiangong's face suddenly changed greatly.

At the same time, the Jiangning students, who were originally sitting together, also suddenly got up and hid far away. Several of them smiled at the son surnamed Tian, indicating that they didn't know this Wang Jiangong at all.

And the diners at the next table also stopped laughing at this time. They all turned their heads to look at the good things that were about to happen here.

After hearing their son-in-law's order, the family members took the order, rolled up their sleeves, and walked towards Wang Jiangong, who was looking for a way out.

"You, you, so bold!" Wang Jiangong's face changed greatly, and while retreating, he pointed at the group of people who rushed over and reprimanded.

At this moment, a shrill voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"King Jiangning is here?"

As he spoke, a father-in-law dressed in the costume of a eunuch of the Ouchi court walked in with a wooden plate in his hand.

…… In the palace, the silver-haired emperor in the imperial study sat at the desk, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the song in front of him that was sent back from Taiyuan Mansion eight hundred miles in a hurry. The white brow furrowed.

After taking a deep look, he threw the fold aside, leaned back in the dragon chair, closed his eyes, and sighed. His fingers lightly slammed on the table, and he whispered to himself: "Turkic, heh, Turkic! ”

The Taiyuan Prefecture Governor said that a month ago, the Turks had once again disturbed the border. Invade the Great Tong Generation. The war at Yanmen Pass has resumed. Three years ago, the alliance between the Great Zhou and the Turks due to the peace of Princess Ankang was once again unilaterally broken by the Turks.

The defenders of Datong died in battle, and the Turkic cavalry invaded Datong, and the people in the city suffered heavy casualties. In desperation, the Taiyuan guard had no choice but to order the people of Datong to move south.

Moreover, this time the Turks seem to be different from previous raids. After they captured Datong, a large number of elite cavalry went all the way south, until they stopped the offensive at the Yanmen Pass. And, for a month, they haven't retreated. It seems that it is going to launch a large-scale attack on Da Zhou!

The Taiyuan garrison was in a hurry and asked the imperial court to increase troops to support Taiyuan.

Putting the fold aside, the emperor rubbed his forehead with a headache.

These days, the Turkic envoys are staying in the Emerald Red House in Tokyo. Previously, he had asked to meet the Great Zhou Emperor. However, at that time, the emperor was troubled by the affairs of the Shu and Shi tribes, and the conditions put forward by the Turkic envoys at that time were too harsh. Enraged, the emperor drove him out of the palace.

I didn't expect the Turks to move so fast!

After thinking carefully in his heart, the emperor opened his eyes. Turning his head again, he glanced at the fold, and said with a cold smile: "What a big appetite!" ”

The Emperor squinted slightly, a twinkle in his eyes. It seems to be thinking about something.

After a while, his gloomy expression suddenly became a little depressed.

Hey, there are no unscrupulous generals in the country!

The emperor leaned back in his chair and sighed, thinking to himself.

However, these words only appeared in his heart for a moment, and in the emperor's mind, he couldn't help but think of the eighth brother who was far away in Jiangning and had been idle for decades.

Is it really necessary to enable him?
