Chapter 158: Brothers have a promising future
With such a loud voice, except for Wang Qi, there is no one else.
The idiot tugged at a bath towel and came out of the tub. Wang Qi had already entered the house, turned the screen, and showed a mouthful of white teeth at the idiot.
It has been a month since Wang Qi entered Beijing
Although Wang Qi still has a ruffian smile on his body, it is still a little different.
faded away from childishness and matured all at once. The seventeen-year-old boy can no longer see the obese appearance of the year, his face is handsome, and his body is tall, and anyone who sees it will praise it.
The Taoist idiot couldn't help frowning when he saw it, and said, "How did Brother Seventh lose weight like this?" ”
Although Wang Qi has been much thinner than when he was a child in the past two years, his body is still a little strong, but after going out for a month, he has lost a lot of weight. Looking at this posture, let alone lose more than ten or twenty catties, otherwise it will not have an effect.
Wang Qi raised his eyebrows, pulled a chair and sat down, touched his chin and said, "Fortunately, brother, I had two taels of meat on my body earlier, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to withstand this toss." Speaking of this, his face still showed a little fear: "Every time three hundred miles of galloping, more than two thousand miles, it will be there in eight days." When he arrived in the capital, his brother's thighs were worn out, and no one could help him walk the aisle. entered the capital, and caught up with martial law in Beijing. I finally met my second uncle, and I knew that His Royal Highness was the heir to the emperor, and I was worried about whether your entry into Beijing would go smoothly. ”
As he spoke, he lowered his voice again and said, "My brother is such a broad-hearted person, he has been having nightmares all these days, not to mention that he has trouble sleeping and eating, and his hair has fallen out one by one. If His Royal Highness is not involved in the imperial system, it is fine, if His Royal Highness is involved in the imperial system and cannot go to Beijing smoothly, then the palace can still be good? Even those of us can't get any better. ”
Dao Idiot put away his clothes, nodded and said, "What Brother Qi said is exact, everyone is worried these days. ”
When Wang Qi heard this, he glanced at him, and snorted lightly: "Worried? Why do I see that Jiro has a double chin? ”
The Taoist idiot spread his hands and said: "There is no way, Fan Yiren is afraid that His Highness will be in a hurry, and on the way, he wants to make up for His Highness, and my brother can be regarded as borrowing." ”
Wang Qi raised his chin and said with a child's expression: "You are still young, you don't know that this matter is dangerous, so you will have no heart to raise fat." ”
Dao idiot said: "Seventh brother has seen His Highness? ”
He and Lu Bing temporarily decided to come to the inn from the pavilion to live, if Wang Qi didn't go to the pavilion, he couldn't find this side. When I went to the pavilion, I must have seen the prince first, and the prince also cared about the news in Beijing.
Sure enough, Wang Qi nodded and said, "I arrived long before you entered the city." It happened that Lord Lu took someone to inspect the pavilion, so I greeted him first and waited for His Highness. After seeing His Royal Highness, I gave the news of the capital and went to see Erlang, but when I heard that you were here, I chased after you. ”
Regarding the news in the capital, the Taoist idiot does not pay attention.
No matter how Yang Tinghe is in charge of the government now, as long as the prince ascends the throne, the emperor will have the final say.
In other dynasties, the prime minister may be able to empty the imperial power; In the Ming Dynasty, there were Jinyiwei and Dongchang, directly under the emperor and the emperor, whether it was a Beijing official or a local official, they were not arrogant.
Dao idiots care about their relatives: "Seventh brother, have you seen the third brother these days?" And Sister Shun Niang and Sister Rong Niang? ”
Wang Qi nodded and said: "I saw it all, I was frightened a few days ago, I only hid at the second uncle's house and waited for news, and I didn't dare to go anywhere." Later, when the news of your arrival in Zhili came back to Beijing, I felt more at ease, so I went to see Saburo and his two sisters. Speaking of this, he said with a smile: "By the way, Sister Shunniang has good news, and she will add a little nephew after August." ”
When the Taoist idiot heard this, he was not pleased, and frowned: "So fast? ”
Shun Niang's eldest son Yuan Lang has only lived a long life, Shun Niang is four years older than the idiot, only eighteen this year, in the eyes of others, holding two in three years may be more than a blessing, but the idiot is worried that she will be injured due to frequent childbirth.
Wang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I know that you guys will be blindly worried, my brother has already inquired about it." Shun Niang's sister gave birth to her eldest nephew when she gave birth to her eldest nephew, and this time it was more than a year apart, and she was okay with her body. ”
The Taoist idiot got up and said solemnly: "I'm bothered by Brother Seven." ”
Wang Qi snorted lightly and said, "Who made me your brother." ”
Seeing that his face was full of spirit, the Taoist idiot was a little bitter in his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness is about to become the emperor, is the seventh brother happy?" ”
Wang Qi's mouth was about to crack to his ear, and he said triumphantly: "Of course I am happy." It is said that 'if one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven'. Your Highness is not the Tao, but the world. Just when I was returning to His Highness with His Highness, I also saw that His Highness had a roster in his hand, which was the list of people who had gone to Beijing from Long this time. His Royal Highness also specifically mentioned this matter, saying that even if I entered Beijing first, I would be listed on the list. When His Royal Highness ascends the throne, he will naturally reward the heroes of Conglong. Now among the people who follow Hu, only thirty and a half of them have grades in the palace, and the rest are no grades. But listen to His Highness's meaning, more or less praise. The reward of the fourth-grade official or above will be half. Five and six grades account for 30%, and there are not many below 7 grades. At this point, his eyes were already shining.
He was sent by the prince as a pioneer official, even if he had no grade when he was in the palace earlier, but if the prince really rewarded the meritorious heroes from the dragon, if he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, he would have to be able to wear four or five grades.
However, after being proud, Wang Qi thought of the idiot, and hurriedly restrained himself and smiled: "Erlang, it stands to reason that you and Lu Bing are both servants of His Royal Highness, and they should be in the reward list, but looking at His Highness's meaning, he intends to fulfill you, and wants to send you and Lu Bing to study in the country." After all, you and Lu Bing are still young in two grades. In this way, when the officials are divided, there will be no share of the two of you. If you really want to make achievements in officialdom, it is better to be an official in the imperial examination. ”
Dao Idiot smiled: "Seventh brother, don't worry, I won't be resentful because of this." ”
It was the list that he drew up by looking at it, and there were corresponding references in it. For example, how to deal with the Jiang family, he made a small suggestion. The Jiang family, as the foreign family of the prince, also has a popular entry into Beijing with His Royal Highness this time, which is the prince's uncle Jiang Qingshan and Jiang Qingshan's two cousins Jiang Kang and Jiang Shou.
Needless to say, Jiang Qingshan, as His Royal Highness's foreign family, a title can't run away. The grace of the rest of the Jiang family, but the prince did not want to put it on Jiang Lin.
Obviously, for Jiang Lin, a cousin, the prince still doesn't have any good feelings.
The idiot took the initiative to mention Jiang Kang and Jiang Shou, these two brothers are military and have been on an errand in the palace for several years, and they are also very peaceful. If it weren't for Wang Qi going to the Honor and Guard Division, he would have been familiar with it over there, and he wouldn't even know that the two of them were the princess's cousins. Compared with the brothers and sisters Jiang Lin and Jiang Feng, who were born in the palace, raised in the palace, and worked as a prestige in the palace, these two brothers are honest.
Their late father was the princess's own uncle and brother, and when the prince and the princess were in the domain, they followed him out of Beijing. But with the princess's brother in front, the princess's uncle and brother seemed to be lonely. After his death, although the two sons also entered the palace on errands, they were honest and did not swagger in the name of the princess's family.
When he was about to arrive in the capital, Shizi was worried that he had no one to use, but after listening to the words of the idiot, he became interested in Jiang Kang and Jiang Shou brothers, and made a special trip to summon him.
Jiang Kang is in his thirties, Jiang Shou is in his twentieth and sixth years, and the two brothers are not people who talk much. The former was wearing the general flag left by his biological father, and the latter started as a school captain, and he also raised the general flag because of his meritorious service in curbing bandits last year.
Seeing this, the prince was very satisfied.
Whether it's from the other party's grade or from the blood.
And after elevating these two people, he can also explain the past in front of the princess.
Wang Qi and the Daoist brothers said this, and Wang Qi had already said a lot of things in front of the prince before, so he felt that his throat was dry, and said, "Erlang, where is the tea?" ”
The idiot reacted that he hadn't served tea yet, but fortunately there was still warm tea in the teapot, so he poured Wang Qi a cup.
Wang Qi ate two bites in one bite, and asked for another cup to eat, before he felt more comfortable in his throat.
Seeing that the idiot was still wearing his hair, he said, "Go and clean up, the second uncle is also here, and my brother will take you over to visit." ”
The Taoist idiot raised his eyebrows and said, "Seventh Brother has bowed in front of His Highness?" ”
Wang Qi squinted and nodded, and said with a smile: "Second Uncle is also stained with our light this time, right?" Others want to see you, the 'attendant' who is most valued by the prince, but they can't go to the door, and the second uncle takes advantage of him as an elder, and asks us to send it to the door. ”
Wang Qi was full of joy, and the idiot wanted to mention the matter of the three county lords canonizing the princess, but he still couldn't bear it, and swallowed the words on his lips again.
After the Taoist idiot dressed neatly, he went out of the house with Wang Qi.
Standing in the corridor of the inn, he felt a little strange.
Lu Bing's room was next door to him, and there was no movement at all. With Lu Bing's temperament, when he heard Wang Qi's movements, he should have come out early.
Thinking of this, he knocked on the door next door, and it was not Lu Bing who came out, but the little servant in the palace, who served by Lu Bing's side, yawned and whispered back: "Second prince Wang, our eldest son is asleep." ”
When the idiot heard this, he slowed down and entered the house, put Lu Bing on the bed and fell asleep before coming out of the house.
Wang Qi followed behind the Taoist idiot and came in to take a few looks.
When he came out of Lu Bing's room, Wang Qi said: "Didn't you say that Lu Bing and His Royal Highness were in the same car, why are you so tired?" ”
Dao idiot said: "Lu Bing rode a lot of horses in the second half. In the end, he is young, and he is in a hurry along the way. ”
The two brothers talked and left the inn.
It is located on Guanyi Street, and the people living in it are all servants of the royal palace, and there are guards outside to put them under martial law.
The two showed the royal waist card, and then passed through the checkpoint and walked out of Guanyi Street.
The front street of Guanyi Street, a teahouse.
Not only Wang Qingjiang, the waiter of the Criminal Department, is here, but also Wang Xuan, the second son of the Wang family's patriarch, is also waiting here.
Compared with other Beijing officials who were confused, the uncle and nephew looked much calmer. Although Wang Qi went for a long time, they were a little anxious to wait, but at the same time, they couldn't help but have more expectations.
The later Wang Qi came back, the longer he stayed by the emperor's side.
Even if you can't meet the emperor today, with the relationship between you and the emperor and the in-laws of the palace, the Wang family has taken off......
