Chapter 13: Wang Kan's identity
Everyone saw that Fengzhi County quickly finished the first case, and witnessed the magic of the county master, and suddenly those who wanted to avenge their grievances became excited, waiting, looking forward to, and finally waiting for the blue sky!
In the crowd watching the trial outside the second gate, the middle-aged man accompanying Wang Kan is called Wang Jien, who is the eunuch next to the emperor today. This Wang Jien, originally in the Later Zhou Xiande period, entered the palace as a eunuch, and was adopted as an adopted son by a person surnamed Zhang, named Dejun. Later, after Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, established the Song Dynasty, he fought with the army and successively eliminated the Southern Han, Shu, Jinghu, Southern Tang, etc., and made great achievements. Taizu began to trust Wang Jien.
Because Wang Jien had quite a lot of military merits, he asked Taizu to restore his original name and surname, so Taizu gave the name Ji'en, which means not forgetting the emperor's grace, and the name Wang Jien began to belong to himself.
But this Wang Ji'en did not succeed in his kindness, but in his treachery. In the ninth year of Kaibao, after the death of Taizu, the queen asked Wang Jien to summon the crown prince Zhao Defang into the palace, but this Wang Jien went to Nanfu to summon the emperor's brother Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangyi successfully became the emperor. Because of this credit, he was especially trusted by Zhao Guangyi.
Wang Jien grabbed Wang Kan and said, "Let's go, we should go back!" ”
After all, Wang Kan is a child's temper, very playful, and said: "Lord Wang, don't panic, this magistrate is also interesting and knowledgeable, and this king likes it very much." ”
Wang Kan is actually Zhao Yuankan, Zhao Guangyi's third son. Originally, Zhao Yuankan's name was Zhao Dechang, and later his name was changed to Zhao Yuanxiu, and in the end, his name was changed to Zhao Yuankan. He also has two elder brothers, the eldest is called Zhao Dechong, who later changed to Zhao Yuanzuo, and is now named King Wei. The second child was called Zhao Deming, and was later changed to Zhao Yuanyou. In addition, Zhao Guangyi has six sons, a total of nine sons.
Zhao Guangyi's sons were originally called by their real names, until Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, although they regarded Taizu's children as princes, but for the sake of difference, they changed their names to their sons. At the same time, the knighthood was added. The eldest son, Zhao Yuanzuo, is now King Wei. The second son Zhao Yuanyou, the third son Zhang Yuankan, and the rest of the sons, all of them were named the king of the county along with the son of Taizu and the son of Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei.
Wang Jien didn't care about him, and directly pulled Zhao Yuankan and left. Then, several guards who were secretly guarding saw the prince leave and hurriedly followed.
The group returned to an inn. Wang Jien pulled Zhao Yuankan into a room, but saw that there was a person inside, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time. And outside the inn, although it doesn't seem to be unusual, in fact, there are people secretly guarding the three floors inside and the three floors outside.
When the man saw Wang Jien coming back, he smiled and said, "Lord Wang, the third child didn't cause trouble for you, did he?" ”
Wang Jien is especially favored by the housekeeper, and he has been serving in the army, although he is an internal servant, everyone still respectfully calls him Lord Wang, the reason why he is so called is because his current position is the history of Hebei Thorn. Of course, the current history of the Great Song Dynasty is a fictitious position, not a feudal official like the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Jien complained: "Lord Wang, the third prince is young after all, and he does things with his own surname, and the old slave is very difficult to take care of!" ”
That person was the boss, Wei Wang Zhao Yuanzuo, but he was also a person with a surname in love, and said: "Lord Wang, I don't know what trouble the third brother caused you?" ”
Wang Jien hurriedly said: "Don't dare! This is tormenting the old slave. After all, the third prince is young and loves to watch the excitement, and when he passed by the county office today, he happened to be a new magistrate to try the case. However, this magistrate is still a little knowledgeable, and can distinguish between right and wrong, the third prince can see the rise, the old slave is afraid of delaying the time, so he forcibly pulled the third prince back, and asked the prince not to be surprised! ”
When Zhao Yuanzuo heard this, it turned out to be so, but as for being so angry, he just said: "Lord Wang has worked hard, but even so, it is not worth Lord Wang to be so angry!" ”
Wang Jien hurriedly said: "The third prince doesn't know what is at stake, and he actually wants to worship Nazhi County as a teacher!" Thinking about that county, it is just a seven-grade official position, just a mere jinshi, and the prince is a daughter, how can he surrender his identity! ”
Zhao Yuanzuo originally didn't have any city government, and his surname was straightforward, a bit similar to the housekeeper, plus he liked martial arts and was skilled in archery, so he was very loved by the housekeeper.
When Zhao Yuanzuo was thirteen years old, he followed the official family to hunt in the suburbs, and a rabbit ran in front of the emperor's chariot and horse. Later, he fought with the official family in Taiyuan and Youji. During the Taiping Rejuvenation Period, he went out of the palace to live in the inner east gate of the house, served as the inspector of the school, and the Pingzhang of the same Zhongshu Gate, and was named the King of Wei, and took office in the Zhongshu Province. Among all the princes, Zhao Yuanzuo is a scorpion - the only one! Coupled with the identity of the eldest son of the emperor, therefore, it is even more valued. Although Wang Jien is proud of his superior status, he does not dare to be presumptuous.
Zhao Yuanzuo said with a smile: "It's really appropriate for Lord Wang to deal with it like this. This king thanked Lord Wang for his father and third brother. ”
Wang Jien hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, this is a tormented slave!" This time I went to Beijing on an errand, but until now, I haven't found that person, and I don't know how to explain to the official family when I go back! ”
Zhao Yuanzuo said with a sad face: "This king is also in a hurry!" Lord Wang, do you think the old man is deliberately playing tricks on us? ”
Wang Jien said: "It stands to reason that it will not. Not only was the old man surnamed Zhao present, but the old slave was an internal servant, and he was also present at the time, so he naturally knew that Zhao Pu Lao'er was not talking nonsense. ”
Zhao Yuanzuo thought for a while and said, since this is the case, let's secretly investigate again.
At this time, the guards outside the door announced: "Lord Wang, the third prince is here!" ”
Zhao Yuanzuo hurriedly said, "Let him come in!" ”
I saw Zhao Yuankan push the door in, salute the eldest brother, and said: "Big brother, today's magistrate is really powerful, I don't know if Lord Wang mentioned it to the eldest brother just now!" ”
After all, Zhao Yuanzuo was a sixteen-year-old boy, and he was a little playful, so he asked: "How powerful, don't talk about it!" ”
So, Zhao Yuankan said that Feng Manlou said that the blood of relatives is not counted, and then explained the trial process in detail. Zhao Yuankan was originally a child, plus the blind worship of Feng Manlou, so he exaggerated a little, plus he received a good education since he was a child, and his eloquence was also very good, and Zhao Yuanzuo who listened to it was also a burst of shouts.
Zhao Yuanzuo said with a smile: "This king is also very interested in that magistrate. And I heard you say that this magistrate is really erudite, and I heard you say that he is not a few years older than my two brothers, how can he be so powerful! I really want to see it! ”
Wang Jien was worried that the two brothers would take the same name, so he hurriedly dissuaded: "Lord Wang, don't forget, this time the official family assigned the task!" ”
Zhao Yuanzuo hurriedly woke up to the fact that this matter was originally a royal secret, and his father did not have the right person to handle this matter, otherwise he would not have worked for himself. Because Wang Jien was his father's personal attendant, he was deeply trusted by his father, and he was worried that he would not be able to do his errands, so he was sent to sit in town. It's just that this third child is following. It's not surprising, the relationship between the two brothers was also very good. Compared with other brothers, the second brother Zhao Yuanyou is a little rusty.
Zhao Yuanzuo hurriedly said: "What Lord Wang said is that we still have to do business!" ”
Zhao Yuankan said regretfully: "Maybe, we have missed a lot of wonderful cases!" ”
What everyone doesn't know is that the current magistrate yamen, since the first case of Feng Manlou spread, there have been more people slowly, and more people have complained. However, it is all about old sesame seeds and rotten grain, although it is not difficult to deal with and the trial is simple, but it takes time.
Feng Manlou also felt very sleepy, after he arrived, he didn't even take a break, and he hadn't eaten yet, now it was almost dark, and it was time to go down.
Feng Manlou couldn't bear the hunger, so he said, "The last case." Others who have sued the official will submit the complaint and come to hear the verdict early in the morning! ”
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone couldn't hold back their curiosity and dispersed!
