168 Tales of the Ages
【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
This trouble also brought a benefit that Wang Lanping didn't expect, the people who referred to him were scared one by one, as soon as they entered the examination room, who dared to cheat, although no one checked whether there was entrainment, but no one dared to, in case it was found out, Prime Minister Wang Cheng would only use a knife to speak.
At the same time, the martial arts scientific examination in charge of the Ministry of War also started as scheduled, and the martial arts department is not as cumbersome as the liberal arts, and there are only 100 or so martial arts in total.
Ten days later, the list of civil and military double subjects was released at the same time, and a total of 1,078 people were selected for the liberal arts reference, and a total of 68 people were awarded the top three, and they were given the same Jinshi background; Thirty-nine people in the second class, born as a jinshi; One and twenty-two people, given to the Jinshi and the first; Wang Lanping personally looked at the twenty-two answer sheets of the first class, and selected three people from them, which were the first place in the first class, the champion, the second place in the first class, the first place in the list, and the third place in the first class, which was for the exploration of flowers, but this top three was not hand-picked, so the prime minister ordered it.
All the people who won the list are between 25 and 50 years old, this is Wang Lanping's hard condition for screening officials, and all the 129 people on the list are attached to the official positions granted by the Prime Minister's Office when the list is issued, and according to the category of the questions answered by the people, they are assigned to the official positions of the six departments and their subordinate yamen, which are pervasive. Only then can his official position be officially appointed by the imperial court.
Although it was so, the day the liberal arts were released. The move to make the list is really an eye-opener, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng did what he said. Who still remembers the blood of the Gongyuan ten days ago, without Prime Minister Wang, where would they be today.
Not to mention the martial arts, the martial artists counted from the top to the end of the yellow list, counted several times in a row, and it was incredible to count them, and all the references were on the list, and the happiest thing should be Wang Lanping's personal protection method, and he even won the eighteenth place in the first class. Wu Jinshi and the first.
Wu Zhuangyuan, Bangyan, and Tanhua were also produced, and there was no mud and water at all.
The aura of slaughter pervading the city of Nanjing was boiled by the lifters who won the list on this day, and the streets and alleys all praised Prime Minister Wang's groundbreaking move, as if in this world, there is nothing that Prime Minister Wang dare not do.
And who cares about the emperor being trapped in the Forbidden City, even the champion of the civil and military departments has not seen what the emperor looks like, this champion is a blind date.
Just as the dust had just settled, Wang Lanping received a letter from Zhang Huangyan from Fujian, which was unexpected. Presumably, it was the fact that he was going to marry the prime minister in Nanjing, and it reached Zheng Hongkui's ears, and Zheng Zhilong first proposed the marriage, and half of the credit should be attributed to Zheng Hongkui.
On the same day, Wang Lanping called Zheng Hongkui, the chief soldier of the Zhenjiang Water Division, and Zheng Sen, the commander of the military and political left division, to the prime minister's private residence.
There were only four people in the house. At this time, the guard method was already a martial artist, and he was awarded the rank of general Zhaowu, but his duty was still that of Prime Minister Wang's personal guard. Sanpin guards with knives, not far from Wang Lanping.
Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Sen's uncle and nephew sat on either side. But seeing Wang Lanping's happy face, he didn't know what he meant.
Wait for the next person to serve tea. Wang Lanping took out Zhang Huangyan's letter from his arms.
"Two, Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, toured south to Fujian, but sent a letter with six hundred miles in a hurry, this letter is related to Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of Fujian, you are his family, take a look at it, I am surprised by the content of the letter."
Zheng Hongkui has guessed seven or eight points in his heart when he heard this, presumably the eldest brother received his letter, asking Zhang Huangyan to be a matchmaker for the Zheng family's marriage to a daughter, the prime minister of Xiaowu Pingling to marry, and the military department Shangshu as a matchmaker, it must be a good story for the ages.
But Zheng Hongkui said, "The prime minister's private message, how dare the officials read it"
"No defense, Zheng Sen, you can also take a look"
Zheng Hongkui got up and respectfully accepted the letter handed over, and took a closer look, sure enough, Zhang Huangyan only had a few words about martial arts in the letter, and most of the rest of the pages were saying that the Zheng family wanted to marry Wang Cheng for a hundred years.
"Zheng Sen, take a look" Zheng Hongkui was secretly happy in his heart, and the prime minister took out the letter, which means that this matter is nine out of nine.
After reading it, Zheng Sen unconsciously glanced at the fourth uncle, and there was a hint of difficulty in his eyes, if his sister climbed to the prime minister, and King Zheng's marriage was successful, wouldn't it be to a large extent to avoid a big war between the future prime minister and the Zheng family's forces.
Wang Lanping said with a smile, "You see, I am also very embarrassed about this matter, I am the prime minister of the dynasty, Zheng Zongbing holds the male soldiers outside, if this matter is spread, it will inevitably attract criticism, but Zheng Zongbing sincerely entrusts his beloved daughter to me, if I resign, it also really blows Zheng Zongbing's sincerity, I can't bear it, one of you is his brother, the other is his son, if you don't prevent it, you will decide for me"
Nonsense, of course, it is best for the Zheng family to make the Zheng family aware of the momentum of the government and the opposition, and everyone in the world must know that the Zheng family is trying their best to pull the prime minister.
Of course, Zheng Hongkui could hear this, since the matter had been raised by the eldest brother, there was no turning back when he opened the bow.
"The prime minister is young and promising, but he has never married, Yu Gong is not good for the court, how many powerful people want to take the opportunity to cling, Yu private has also lost his morality, Yu Gong and private Prime Minister get married as soon as possible is the blessing of the court, but this matter involves the Zheng family, and it is inconvenient for the lower officials to speak, for fear of being spoken"
Wang Lanping nodded, "Well, General Zheng is reasonable, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, I want to come and stand up soon, but I am alone, ashamed of my ancestors, if I can really marry the Qin and Jin Dynasty with the Zheng family, it is not a good thing for the country, from now on, the southeast and the imperial court will never be separated, and they will become one, and the people of the southeast will also be saved from the disaster of war."
This sentence is called a boldness, and the implication is that Lao Tzu has long had the idea of conquering the Zheng family in the south, and those who know the image should send their daughter here as soon as possible, otherwise as soon as the war starts, you will have no place for the Zheng family in the land of the Ming Dynasty.
Zheng Hongkui had already guessed that Wang Lanping had this intention, and in terms of strength, the Zheng family was better than the prime minister. The bitter thing is that Zheng Zhilong, the head of the Zheng family, has no ambition to compete for the Central Plains at all, which is going to die. If you don't want to war, you are doomed to lose before you start a war, and since you can't fight. Marriage became the best choice.
"The prime minister is far-sighted, the Zheng family is dedicated to the court, and they also strongly support the prime minister's administration, as for the prime minister's family affairs, the lower officials dare not say much, but the lower officials have a heartfelt word, please consider this matter with the overall situation"
The implication is that the prime minister, you will get off the donkey, and quickly agree. Everyone knows it.
Wang Lanping smiled and set his eyes on Zheng Sen, "Governor Zheng Zuo, as the eldest son of Zheng Shi, what do you think of your father's advice?" ”
Zheng Sen glanced at the fourth uncle, knowing that he definitely couldn't object, and the opposition was invalid, so he said, "The prime minister's merit is in the world." Fame moves all over the world, and it is her supreme honor for her sister to marry the prime minister, not to mention that her father has already made the master of this matter, and the only thing that the lower official supports is to say it. Congratulations to the Prime Minister."
Zheng Hongkui on the side secretly praised in his heart, the eldest nephew said this well, and he got up and said goodbye. "Congratulations to the Prime Minister"
Wang Lanping laughed, "Okay." Rejoice and rejoice, that's good. This matter is so decided, I agreed to this family business, but Zheng Sen, this Zhang Huangyan said in the letter that Ling Mei is dignified and virtuous, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, quite talented, and the most favorite literati in her life, you also know, I am a martial artist, there is no ink on my chest, if Ling Mei marries, I am afraid that I will wronged her, haha"
Zheng Hongkui also let go, from then on, Prime Minister Wang Cheng was his niece and son-in-law, a family, and he laughed at the moment, "The prime minister is too modest, the lower officials are foolish, and there are two kinds of credits, one is a well-read talent, a talent who knows the past and the present, and the other is a talent who works hard, and the prime minister's talent has long been obvious to all."
Zheng Sen also said, "It is true that my sister loves the literati, but she is also more greedy for the heroes and heroes of the world, and now the prestige of the prime minister is spread all over the world, and it is too late to make my sister happy."
is a person who likes to listen to others flatter him, Wang Lanping is no exception, he is so happy to touch his chin, "So very good, very good, I look like a good person, by the way, Zheng Sen, you know your sister best, what she likes on weekdays, I will ask someone to give her a little when I reply to the letter"
Zheng Sen didn't think about it, "Ling Mei usually stays at home, and only recites poems and songs in the attic"
When Wang Lanping heard this, he cried out in his heart, and touched his forehead for embarrassment, "This is difficult, if you want to talk about fighting, I can do it, poetry and songs are written as articles, alas, it's not that piece of material, one, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to fight tigers, tigers don't eat people, they eat big bad guys, is this a poem?" ”
Zheng Hongkui's uncle and nephew laughed when they heard this, and even the way they stood aside was so red that their faces turned red, is this also a poem? Newly enlightened schoolchildren will laugh off their little teeth.
Zheng Sen said, "The prime minister is too careful, and it is true that my sister is good at poetry, but I don't ask the prime minister to write poetry."
Wang Gangping laughed at himself, got up and said, "Joke, the marriage between the Zheng and Wang families is decided, but one person still needs to agree."
"Who?" Zheng Hongkui said.
"The Emperor Today"
Zheng Hongkui understood, "The lower official will go back and write an excerpt to the emperor, asking the emperor to grant marriage, the prime minister's marriage is a grand event in my dynasty, and the emperor will definitely agree."
Nonsense, does the emperor dare to disagree, the two families of King Zheng have become a family, and the strength is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
**
There was an old man outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, ragged, disheveled, indescribably desolate, full of an old man named Hanako, he wandered in front of the majestic Prime Minister's Mansion several times, and wanted to enter several times but couldn't muster up the courage.
In the end, he didn't seem to have any other way to pass, stiffened his head, grabbed the bamboo cane in his hand vigorously, and staggered towards the vermilion gate.
There were four soldiers standing guard at the door, and they had also paid attention to this old man for a long time, sneaky, not like a good person, and when they saw that the old man was going in, they hurriedly shouted in a disgusted tone, "Hey, old man, do you see it clearly, you go inside, is this the place where you should come?" Go, go."
The old man called Hanako knew that his image was too bad, and he was drunk by a few soldiers, and said, "Master Bing, I know this family when I am young, please report it and let Miss Du from this house come out."
The soldier looked disdainful, "Who do you think you are, Miss Du is what you want to see, get out, if you mess around, Lao Tzu will not be polite."
The soldier is in a posture to draw the waist knife.
The old man called Huazi was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated to the bottom of the steps, begging for mercy, "Don't don't, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, don't hurt the harmony, I really have a relationship with this family, the soldier only needs to ask Miss Du to come out and take a look."
The soldiers couldn't help but look at him carefully, this old man looked sloppy, but he spoke decently, and his tone of voice was a little Huaiyin, Prime Minister Wang and Miss Du's hometown was over there, could it be that a poor relative came to the door in his hometown.
Thinking of this, the four soldiers glanced at each other, nodded, forget it, just take it as a good deed, go in and report it, if it is really a relative of Prime Minister Wang, maybe you can ask for a reward.
A soldier turned around and entered the house to report, but the old man called Huazi was worried, faceless, looking at the tall Prime Minister's Mansion, listening to the prestige of the Prime Minister Wang on the streets of Nanjing, he knew today, why bother in the first place.
The soldiers walked briskly, and it didn't take long to come to the door of the backyard, but they didn't dare to go in, coincidentally, Fang Ling was tending with flowers and plants in front of the moon, spring had come, and all kinds of flowers in the house were also competing with each other, and the whole backyard was full of flowers.
"The little one has seen Miss Fang" The soldiers were polite to the three young ladies in the house, and the prime minister's face was already known.
But Fang Ling didn't think of the prime minister's love either, and returned the favor with a decent salute, "What's the matter?" ”
The soldier arched his hand and said, "There is an old man from outside the house, dirty, but he said that he is related to Miss Du, and the little one does not dare to call the shots, so he wants to ask Miss Du to go out and have a look, and I bother Miss Fang to give Tong Bing."
Fang Ling sighed, "Okay, this thing, okay"
When the soldiers walked away, the careful Fang Ling did not go straight to the backyard to find Du Ningning, and thought about it, Ning Ning escaped from marriage and fled to Nanjing, and escaped from the marriage of Emperor Dashun.
At that moment, Fang Ling patted off the petals on his body, cleaned his hands, and went to the gate instead.
From a distance, I saw a gray-haired old man named Hanako sitting at the foot of the steps, hunched over his body, with a bamboo stick on his shoulder.
When the soldiers at the door saw Fang Ling, they all arched their hands and said in unison, "Miss"
Hearing the sound, Hanako's body straightened up suddenly, but she didn't dare to look back.
Fang Ling walked down the steps slowly, observing this person from behind, it was said that it was impossible for Dashun to let an old man come out to do fine work.
"Old man, who are you?" Fang Ling asked.
Hearing this voice, Hanako's tense heart was surprised, and she suddenly turned around, "You, who are you?" What about Ning Ning? ”
Fang Ling also felt that something was wrong, this old man called Huazi called Ning Ning called him extraordinarily affectionate, like an elder calling Erlang.
"Ning Ning still has something to do, it's inconvenient to come out to see you, what do you have to do with her, what do you do with her?"
The old man Hanako shook his head and sighed, pestle the bamboo stick and said, "Alas, I regret not being at the beginning, I am tired of this girl, can I let Ning Ning come out to meet me, an old man, there are some words, I want to say to her face to face"
Although Fang Ling didn't know him, judging from the old man's expression and tone of voice, he had no malicious intent.
