According to the number of rites, this new champion Gong returned to his hometown to glorify his ancestors, and there is no need for a prefect and a local garrison general to come to greet him, who called this the first time in the world, Wen Zhuangyuan will come out of one in three years, everyone is not fresh, but Wu Quxing This is a thousand years to produce such a one, plus the Ming Dynasty has been controlled by the civil official group for more than 200 years, and the country's strength is declining.

I saw Governor Zhou and General Liu from afar and greeted them with a smile.

Wang Lanping witnessed all this in front of him, this feels great, he has only heard of the stars holding the moon before, and now all this is happening to him, although he also rode a big horse to the streets in high school in the capital, but this feeling can be very different, the onlookers in the capital are all strangers, people look at you and you almost don't feel it, now it's different, go home, this kind of high excitement is also cordial, proud and proud, and there is a long-suppressed sense of raising eyebrows, Who scolded me in front of me at the beginning, don't open your mouth to come, whoever said that I was a person who did not surrender is not too late to change my words, who stole my chicken and secretly put it back......

Wang Lanping turned over and dismounted in the smoke of firecrackers, and surrounded this group of officials in front of him, to be honest, he didn't know any of them, but along the way, Wang Lanping did not work hard to write down the names of important civil and military officials in Anqing Mansion and even the entire Jiangnan officialdom.

Looking at it this way, the oldest person with the most neat legs and feet in front of him, looking at his official uniform, it must be the prefect of Anqing Mansion, and then looking at the military general who has grown up to be five big and three thick, with big shoulders and a round waist, there is no one else except Liu Zeqing, the chief military officer of Anqing, this is good to be a big official, I think I didn't even know a county master at the beginning, and now even Liu Dajun is here.

Wang Lanping smiled, this is happy from the heart, there is no hypocrisy, this will also be happy.

"Zhuangyuangong, you are the first in high school, you are honored to return to your hometown, and you have achieved beautiful talk through the ages, which is really the blessing of my Anqing and the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, for this reason, this government specially came from Anqing, and brought the officials and people of the palace to greet you here" Zhou Zhifu is really worthy of being a Jinshi, and he is so literary and crepe-like, and the smile on his face has not been broken, and he doesn't know that he thinks that Zhuangyuan Gong is him.

Liu Zongbing is not lagging behind, throwing off his armor, sonorous and powerful fists, the connotation is not quite bluffing, he said, "In my lifetime, I can work with the champion general to contribute to the country, I Liu Zeqing am deeply honored, champion Gong, congratulations and congratulations"

The officials rushed up, for fear that the champion would not see his face, so they bowed their hands one by one, sincerely showing their hypocrisy.

There is a rule in the Ming Dynasty, but when a civil official sees a military general, even if it is one or two levels higher, it is a matter of arching his hand, and in turn, when a military general sees a civil official, even if it is a flat level, he has to salute first, and if he is half a level higher, he has to give a big salute, because the status of military generals and civilian officials in this era is not at the same level, of course, the military and political marshal at the governor level is another matter.

Wang Lanping has Mezziz in his heart, but being modest or pretending to be a grandson is a personal know, this thing doesn't need a teacher, he can come with his mouth open, he hasn't learned to play official for a while, don't look at these people one by one They are still polite to themselves, and they can't keep it behind their backs, even if you, the gangster in Huaining City, can also pass the top prize, this is a tradition, if you have me, then you are a bastard.

Wang Lanping returned the salute to everyone one by one, and the basic politeness was still required, and he said that his return to his hometown was not the goal, and it was the right thing to run the capital city on the south side of the Yangtze River, and he would have to rely on these people to pave the way for his own sedan chair in the future.

"Don't dare to be, I, Wang Lanping, am just a junior, how dare I dare to greet the people of the Labor Mansion and General Liu in person, guilty of sin" Wang Lanping didn't dare to be too public.

Governor Zhou laughed, "No, no, the champion is a young man, a model of beautiful talk through the ages, an example for martial artists, and even more famous in my Anqing Mansion, why not welcome this mansion, haha"

Liu Zongbing immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, the whole world has only heard of Wenqu Xing, and now we also have Wuqu Xing in the Ming Dynasty, good look, give us a long face as a soldier, and I admire this Liu Mou"

The officials are touting again, and the people are even more happy, cheering constantly, as if they are watching a big drama that is rare to see in a hundred years, but the people only dare to be excited from afar, whether they are officials or officials, although many of them have played in the mud in a pit before, but now it is different, the official is a real master.

"Ping'er!" An old choked voice shouted in the crowd, and the half-haired old lady of the Wang family trembled towards Wang Lanpan under the support of Du Ningning, behind her, Yun Niang, who wanted to go over and didn't dare to go over, looked at Wang Lanping from afar with excited tears, this Lan Ping, who used to touch shrimp in the creek with her and go up the mountain to collect firewood, now she only dares to watch from afar, her identity is different, he is a big official.

Wang Lanping heard the long-lost and familiar voice, in the past seven years, he went out to study, young and frivolous did not know the kindness of his mother, and only found out when he was the champion of high school, but he could not find anyone to share with him, this person is his mother, he has not fulfilled his son's filial piety for many years, and for a while his emotions surged, he stepped forward quickly, knelt down on his knees, respectfully kowtowed three heads, and pulled his mother's hands full of rough cracks that were completely incompatible with the gorgeous clothes on his body, his eyes were red, and he said, "Mother, the unfilial son is back, My son has won the top prize in the exam."

The old lady burst into tears, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, my mother really misses you, get up, get up"

Du Ningning, who was supporting the old lady, actually played the role of a maid at this time, and reached out to help Wang Lanping.

"Brother Lanping, I'll just say, you will definitely be able to pass the exam, oh, no, Zhuangyuangong, the little girl is polite" Du Ningning helped Wang Lanping up, and said that he also performed a nondescript salute, his face was playful and cute, his small waist twisted from side to side, and he giggled.

"Miss, it's rare, you will also meet people" Although Wang Lanping and her used to be master and servant, Miss Du never treated him as a person, and the two were really friends.

"You make fun of me" Du Ningning pouted, stomped lightly on his feet, twisted his buttocks, and his face was full of unreasonable and unforgiving posture.

This scene made the Du Dayuan on the side open his eyes with great joy, and he couldn't close his mouth, but in the eyes of another person, he was very sad, she was Yun Niang, Wang Lanping had not been at home for many years, and when Mrs. Wang was not in good health, she relied on her Yun Niang to take care of her.

Seeing Du Ningning and Wang Lanping, I remembered another person, that is, the neighbor Yun Niang, who has played with her since she was a child, although this girl is a little shy, but she is in the relationship with her two little childhood sweethearts, she should come today.

Wang Lanping searched quickly in the crowd, and suddenly a familiar back appeared at the back of the crowd, and slowly walked towards the city, it was Yun Niang.

Mrs. Wang saw her son's thoughts, and she said, "Ping'er, go, go home, and put incense on your father."

At this time, a group of officials rushed over again, and Liu Zeqing took the lead and said, "General, this capital is very good, and it is not as good as a bite of hometown food, I have chartered the best restaurant in this county, and I will take the wind and wash the dust for the general, and the general will please."

Governor Zhou squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Zongbing when he heard this, which means that you kid didn't say that you were passing by to inspect the military affairs, why did you even prepare a banquet, and you shot fast enough, so who will drink my table of banquets.

Liu Zongbing also cast a look at Zhou Zhifu, with a smug face, which means that he is telling Zhou Zhifu, you are in charge.

In short, as soon as Liu Zongbing said this, he offended a group of officials and local wealthy businessmen, too, these people, you put together a table for the champion Gong can't finish, and save money, but these people, all of them have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, everyone wants to have a personal relationship with the champion Gong Panpan, although the name of the champion is not easy to come by, but the most useful is the military position of the deputy chief soldier of Anqing Mansion.

Don't look at the deputy word, this is two different things from today's deputy level, there is no difference between the level and the Anqing general officer, there is no subordination, the Ming regular army system, the whole army is divided into five armies, respectively, the infantry army, the cavalry, the firearms battalion, the engineer and the baggage soldiers, the chief officer commands the infantry army, the deputy chief soldier leads the cavalry, and so on, the commanders of each army perform their duties, and when they go out, the imperial court appoints a general to command the actions of the five armies, but in the past, although the commanders are not divided into sizes, but because the Central Plains region does not produce many horses, The combat effectiveness of the cavalry has not been comparable with the infantry army, so the general army in the momentum of the deputy general soldier, but in recent years, as the Ming Dynasty in the pass and the Manchu Qing Dynasty non-stop fighting, the cavalry suffered, at this time the imperial court also paid too much attention to the development of the cavalry, needless to say, the general who commanded the cavalry naturally pressed the infantry army, if once this army made a meritorious service, then the first to get the imperial court reward must be the cavalry commander, that is, the deputy commander-in-chief.

Now in these years, the war has been raging for many years, the promotion of military generals is the fastest, a big victory, maybe you can be promoted several levels in a row, who is the richest in the war, the commander of the army, who is the most powerful, or these military masters, arson and looting, life and death and seizure, even the emperor has turned a blind eye, if only you can win the battle, who cares about your process.

Being an official for the first time, and being such a big official, Wang Lanping naturally has his own plans.

All the way from the north, fireworks everywhere, the people are displaced, hungry all over the land, and the magistrate has done nothing, he has the first day to bear the name of the world's first martial champion and began to fall, which line, the war has been in turmoil for many years, many people eat soil and wrap their stomachs to save their lives, how can they enjoy the blessing of their tongues, being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and carry an oil bottle.

Thinking of this, Wang Lanping made a reluctant expression at Liu Zeqing.

Zhou Zhifu, who lost no time, hurriedly stepped forward, took the meaning of Mrs. Wang, and opened his mouth for Wang Lanping, "En, yes, General Liu, the champion is returning to his hometown, and the ceremony should be the first to comfort the ancestors, Guangzong Yaozong, this is the great filial piety, this ushered in the reception banquet sent to me in my opinion, or another day" Saying that, Zhou Zhifu glanced at Liu Zongbing proudly, which means that my banquet is not the main one, and you can go alone.

This made Liu Zeqing's face blush, and the two brothers who fled together in the past seemed to be on the same front.

Surrounded by the officials and people of the city, the team of the champion prince drove into Huaining City and went straight to the two dilapidated houses of the Wang family's old house.
