Chapter 257: February 2
"Rare guests, Brother Cheng and Brother Qin came from afar, and they missed the welcome!"
In the garden living room, Wang Jing stepped in, bowed to the two young men with extraordinary bearing who had already done it again, and naturally sat in the main seat.
The maid who followed closely served the fragrant tea and served it on the side, and looked at the person with curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes.
If Wu Ming was here, he would definitely recognize that one of them was Qin Songzhi who had attacked him!
As for the other person, his bearing is not inferior to that of the previous generation Tianjiao, and he is extremely young, obviously an existence at the same level.
"I haven't seen you for five years, but Brother Wang's demeanor is still the same!"
Qin Song's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of caution between his eyebrows.
"Brother Wang has been cultivating himself in the border town all the year round, and his cultivation is even more exquisite, which is indeed a gratifying thing, I don't know what happened to his sudden return to Beijing?"
The young man in a brocade robe, shaking the feather fan in his hand lightly, asked casually.
"One is in the south and the other is in the west, didn't they also come to the capital?"
Wang Jing didn't answer the rhetorical question, the meaning of his words was quite polite, as if to say, why can't I come when the two of you came?
"Hehe, Brother Wang is still as unpretentious as ever, and Brother Jingyu is also out of curiosity, after all, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, and this time I came to Beijing, I should get together. ”
Qin Songzhi smiled lightly.
Combined with the words of the two, it is not difficult to hear that this young man in a brocade Confucian robe is the last generation of Tianjiao of Songyang Academy - Cheng Jingyu!
"Speaking of which, you and I are both students of Songyang Academy, knowing that you are in Beijing, I and Songzhi rushed here to invite you to participate in the literary meeting on the second day of the next lunar month!"
Cheng Jingyu smiled disappreciatively.
"On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, which was a good day for the spring outing. ”
Wang Jing raised his eyebrows slightly.
"So, Brother Wang agreed!"
The Way of Qin Song.
"It was my classmates who gathered, Brother Wang was in the academy back then, and he was also a man of the hour, I don't know how many juniors admired him, if he didn't go, I was afraid that he would be disappointed. ”
Cheng Jingyu said aggressively without being soft or hard.
"The two of you are warmly invited, if you don't go, won't you fall into the mouth?"
Wang Jing didn't seem to hear it, and said calmly and calmly.
"Okay, in that case, I'll wait for Brother Wang!"
The goal was achieved, and the two of them didn't stay long, and just left.
"Young master, the servant has a lot of words, although the two sons have extraordinary bearings, they seem to be ...... between their words It seems to ......"
The maid was a little speechless and stopped.
"Seems to be for tat with me?"
Wang Jing nodded disappreciatively, looked at the empty lobby, and said with a deep gaze, "This time I interfered, and I have already fallen into the mouth, and people came to the door, and they did not ask harshly, but invited to participate in the literary meeting, which is already quite personable!"
Hearing this, the maid opened her mouth, and finally sighed lightly and did not speak.
......
Bang Bang!
In the early morning of the next day, the rapid and piercing sound of gongs resounded through the streets of the southern outer city, and hundreds of people heard the news and listened to each other to find out what was happening.
On a tall shadow back wall, the top official wearing a red and gray base pasted the notices one by one and hurried to the next place.
Literate people crowded inside and read it aloud, causing bursts of exclamation.
It turned out that there was a lot of uproar before, and the government issued an official notice for Liu Zhang's family to stop and shout injustice for their son.
What should have been decided has taken a dramatic turn.
Zhao Lu, the commander of the Zhao Mansion's guards, raped the maidservant, the matter was revealed, and the assassination of the guard Liu Tiegen has now been found out by the government, and when he was arrested, he resisted stubbornly and was punished on the spot!
"The sky has eyes, I just said that Liu Tiegen is such an honest person, how can he do things like a traitor?"
"Hmph, what sky has eyes? If it weren't for Aunt Liu's hard work, if it weren't for the support of the little prince, how could she be wronged?"
"It is this reason, now that the little prince is an adult, he has really become a prince, and it will be blessed to have him speak for our people!"
"Haha, yes, yes, the little prince inherits the throne, I think it's better to change his name to King Xian!"
For a time, the common people rushed to tell each other, and there was a big celebration of the whole world.
It's just that they can never know the deal in the dark.
Liu Tiegen's father-in-law accepted Zhao Lu's money and encouraged Liu Zhang's family to go to Wu Ming to complain about injustice, so as to force Wu Ming to interfere in the case of the Criminal Department with his white body, give the person who is secretly arranging a reason, delay or even deprive Wu Ming of his inheritance.
I don't know that there are also Legalists who are faintly aware of this, and secretly send many people to stop the rest of the people who shout grievances, which can be regarded as breaking the arms of the people who are secretly arranged, and also making Wu Ming owe a favor.
Otherwise, it would never have been so easy.
And in the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Kaitai, the main owner who really killed the servant girl and Liu Tiegen, also splashed all the dirty water on Zhao Lu, a dead man, because of the transaction between Wu Ming and Zhao Yunlai!
No one knew that in order to deal with this layout, Wu Ming dispatched almost all the forces he could use and spent countless energy.
Just when countless people in Nancheng were celebrating, on the morning of the second day, a major event occurred that shook the government and the opposition.
Zhao Yunlai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, wrote to the imperial court, Wu Ming, the son of King Wu, was young Zhijian, even if he was in Beijin for five years, he did not forget the country, and thought about the people everywhere.
In this way, when you are a young model, if you are an adult, you should inherit the throne and continue the legacy of the old King Wu!
Without waiting for the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to come back to their senses, they even took out a watch of the people and went straight to the heavens!
In this way, it was tantamount to slapping the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had dismissed Wu Ming's statement before, and it was a snap.
Not only that, but even officials from the Criminal Department have come out for reconsideration, although they did not say it explicitly, but which one of the officials in the court is not a human spirit, and he has figured out a little different from what happened yesterday.
The most bizarre thing is that even Zhou Minqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also reconsidered.
Before the argument on this matter could be resolved, Zhao Yunlai actually resigned in court, on the grounds that the family was not strictly governed, and the guards in the palace were in charge of the lives of the people, almost causing innocent people to be wronged!
In this way, Zhao Huang Zhao Yukun almost couldn't get off the stage, so he had to press the middle and not send it, and then discuss it later, and then hastily retreated.
As for no one who expected that Lord Zhao Yunlai, who had just been smashed by Wu Ming, but was the first to play, closed the door to thank the guests, and began to sell the industry in Beijing, and began to arrange all the matters after the resignation without waiting for the will of the imperial court!
......
"Young Master, this is what happened in the morning today!"
In the Ciyun Garden of King Wu's Mansion, Honglian finished reading the dossier in her hand one by one.
"This Lord Zhao is a trustworthy person, it seems that there will be opportunities in the future, and I can't say that I can't deal with more!"
Wu Ming took a sip of tea and said lightly.
When Honglian heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Not to mention smashing the door of the house, most of the guards in the house were seriously injured, that is, scholars like Zhao Yunlai understood the key, so they did not turn their faces, and agreed to go to the court afterwards, which can be regarded as returning the favor of saving their son.
"Young Master, Lord Zhou and Master Sang, do you want to prepare a gift to express your gratitude?"
Red Lotus Road.
"No, this kind of personal exchange doesn't need any gifts, so as not to fall into the mouth, saying that I bribed the ministers of the court, and I will have the opportunity to repay it in the future. ”
Wu Ming still had some understanding of Sang Qingyun's reconsideration of the Criminal Department, after all, he was a descendant of the Sang family, but Zhou Minqing really surprised him.
Seriously speaking, it is just a one-sided relationship, even if it is his son Zhou Ziyan, he has also met once.
In terms of friendship, it is not at all worthy, and in terms of identity background, both father and son are Confucian handsome, and it stands to reason that they should not help each other.
"It's still the young master's thoughtfulness, speaking of which, that Lord Zhou is really a good official who is upright and upright!"
Red Lotus praised.
"Huh!"
Wu Ming chuckled and nodded, but he didn't agree in his heart.
It's really not a matter of being upright, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in the court, maybe it is out of pure kindness, or maybe there are other purposes, but in any case, he doesn't care much, and he will have the opportunity to return favors in the future.
"Little Wangye, Grandpa Mu is coming to visit and is waiting in the front hall!"
At this moment, Sun Shanwu came to report.
"Oh, the imperial court's response this time is not slow, it seems that the deterrent power of the Wanmin Table is really not small. ”
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised.
"Where is the deterrent power of the Wanmin Table, I think the means arranged by the young master are powerful, just a rumor without a foundation is worth thousands of troops!"
Red Lotus complimented.
"Huh!"
Wu Ming waved his hand, smiled noncommittally, and walked to the front yard.
"Shizi!"
Mu Chun still hasn't changed much, but his complexion is far worse than before, and there are bloodshot spots in his eyes that were originally introverted, and when he saw Wu Ming, he got up and said.
"Father-in-law Mu, please sit down, I don't know what bothering you to run again?"
Wu Ming said with a bow.
Hearing this, the corners of Mu Chun's mouth twitched, thinking back to the previous trips, each time different from the other, and finally evolved into the current situation.
"Our family is here to convey the will of the imperial court, your statement has been passed, and when you choose a good day and auspicious day, you can hold a ceremony to enthrone the king, which is to inherit the title of King Wu!"
But the matter has come to this point, and he can't think about it too much, so he said bluntly.
"Didn't choose a day?"
Wu Ming was not surprised, but he was quite puzzled by this.
Now that it's all passed, there's no reason to delay, what's going on?
"Don't hide it from the world, the DPRK and China have been busy with miscellaneous affairs recently, and on the second day of the next month, the spring ploughing ceremony will be held, and there will be a big auction to be held in the near future. The former is good to say that it is held every year, but the latter has to prepare many venues and arrange visitors, after all, the visitors are important people from various countries, and even foreign races. ”
After Mu Chun finished speaking, he looked at Wu Ming, and the implication of his words was that he had been busy recently, so you should stay behind a little bit.
Anger flashed in Red Lotus's eyes, and she was about to speak.
"Father-in-law Mu, I think it's good on the second day of the next month, the venue where the imperial court is going to hold the spring ploughing ceremony is not far from the altar where the edict is located.
This son of the world has never liked extravagance and waste, and there is no need to talk about any pomp, everything is simple, and it also saves labor and money!"
Wu Ming glanced at Mu Chun lightly, and after speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea casually.
"This ......"
Mu Chun's old face stiffened, this is a clear and forcible request to set a date, and it cannot be refused!
