Chapter 15 Wang Jingzhi
Although the eldest grandson of Huafu can already be regarded as a scoundrel, he is not a scoundrel. The anger on the azure robe man's face was replaced by an inexplicable fear at the words of the azure robe, and he finally realized that he was doing something extremely stupid. Not everyone had seen Emperor Longwu, but his thunderous methods and the horror that followed his fury were well known. In the case of the appalling punishment of Ling Chi, few people have used it in dynasties since ancient times. According to historical records, from the first emperor to the end of the Dahong Dynasty, it was used less than ten times in total. At the end of the founding of the country, the emperor and the two dynasties of Xingye never used it once. However, after Li Yunqing ascended the throne, there were as many as two recorded use of Ling Chi's punishment in the past nine years.
It can be seen that Li Yunqing will not leave the slightest affection for those who violate the law and discipline. Their Tai'an eldest grandson clan was arrogant for more than fifty years, and they met two benevolent emperors. Since Li Yunqing ascended the throne, he has always felt that the sword is hanging over his head, and from time to time he will have a feeling of chill in his back. They also know that it is not good for them to be arrogant and domineering like this, but the eldest grandson clan, who are accustomed to being above ordinary people, even if they know that they are dying, they still have to go far on the road of dying.
The difference is that after Li Yunqing ascended the throne, they restrained a lot, and they did some shady things carefully, thinking that they were seamless, and it was the first time that they caused public anger in a public place with such fanfare. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, glanced at the people around him coldly, and said viciously: "My son is in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you rotten Confucians, go!" With that, he took his family and left.
Eldest Sun Hongdao and Xu Tianming glanced at each other, both a little surprised. In the end, both of them set their eyes on the man in the azure robe, and the arrogant eldest grandson was actually as if he had been extinguished by a basin of cold water after listening to the man's whispers. Both of them are extremely smart, and they naturally know that the identity of this son will not be simple. But the two weren't sure who the azure robe-boy was, and whether he was the same scoundrel as the eldest grandson. However, although they were suspicious of his identity, the two still had a tacit understanding, and they were very friendly and said to the azure robe: "Eldest grandson Hongdao, Xu Tianming, have seen the son!" ”
After the eldest grandson Hongdao reported his name, not only Xu Tianming, but even the azure-colored robe-boy couldn't help but be stunned. The eldest grandson Hongdao was calm, first invited the azure robe boy to sit together, and then poured a cup of tea for the two, looked at the two of them with puzzled and puzzled faces, nodded and said: "As the two brothers thought in their hearts, Zai Xia does belong to the same clan as Fang Cai. When these words came out, he was silent for a moment, and without waiting for Xu Tianming to speak, he continued: "The ancestor is the brother of the eldest grandson Zhongyuan's mother, and the ancestor of the family wanted to serve the great cadres wholeheartedly, saying that Emperor Taizu is a rare holy monarch in the world. The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and good ministers choose the lord to serve. Loyalty to Emperor Taizu Gao is not only beneficial to the country and the people, but also a good thing for the eldest grandson. However, the eldest grandson Zhongyuan was extremely pedantic, not only opposing my ancestor as an official of the Great Cadre, but also driving my ancestor and all the clansmen of his line out of the eldest grandson family. Since then, I have left the city of Tai'an and settled in a small village in the south. ”
The azure robe man pondered for a moment when he heard this, and nodded: "I seem to have heard this matter from my grandfather, Emperor Taizu originally wanted to protect the Changsun clan of your lineage, but finally gave up this idea. Taizu is the king of a country, and if he intervenes in the internal affairs of a family as a son of heaven, this matter cannot be said in any way. What's more, Emperor Taizu still has the holy decree he made back then, so this matter can only be resolved in the end, and grandpa has been sorry for a long time. The words of the man in the azure robe made the eldest grandson Hongdao and Xu Tianming more and more confused about his identity.
Seeing the two of them like this, the man in the azure robe smiled and said, "The ancestor of the family is none other than Wang Changling, the prime minister of the dynasty. What he said was extremely casual, but it startled the eldest grandson Hongdao and Xu Tianming and all the scholars around him, and many eyes fell on him. Seeing this scene, Wang Jingzhi still said lightly: "The ancestor of the family is the prime minister of the dynasty, but here is a scholar who plans to participate in this Enke test with all of you. In other words, if you can't go to high school this time, you're just a lifter. You don't need to look at me like that, I'm no different from you. As soon as he said this, he won the favor of many scholars.
Eldest Sun Hongdao smiled and said, "The two of us naturally know that Gongzi is a person with an elegant heart, otherwise Gongzi would not have appeared here." I was surprised, most of them didn't expect to meet the grandson of the Prime Minister here, this is really a wonderful fate. ”
Regarding Wang Jingzhi's identity, the eldest grandson Hongdao is naturally more emotional. He naturally remembered the encounter with Li Yunqing that day, in that extremely ordinary small village, Li Yunqing did not shy away from telling the current situation of the imperial court, and even more did not shy away from saying that he intended to let himself ascend to the position of Zaifu. Although Changsun Hongdao is not greedy for the position above ten thousand people under one person, he knows that if Li Yunqing really wants to, he must rely on his own ability to sit in that position. In order to live up to Li Yunqing's expectations, but also for the people of the Great Qian Empire. So when I saw Wang Jingzhi, his feeling was somewhat different.
Wang Jingzhi looked at the eldest grandson Hongdao and Xu Tianming, and lowered his voice and said: "Grandpa has reached the age of retirement, and he told me that if nothing else, there will be someone who will take his place in the future in this Enke examination." Although I don't believe it, my grandfather's words are mostly accurate. Although Daqian has a saying that he can't do things well without hair, anything can happen to Long Wu. He changed to a more comfortable position, lying on his side on the mat, looking extremely free. He said lightly: "Today is the real Son of Heaven, and now he is only nearly twenty-two years old, and my Daqian actually has such power." My grandfather, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Sun have been thinking about Daqian all their lives, and they have done everything they should do. They know that they are old and cannot share the sorrows of the saints. They say that the Longwu Dynasty has just begun, and the prime minister of the Longwu Dynasty must have earth-shattering talents, otherwise he will not be worthy of His Majesty's brilliant heavenly might! As for the prime minister's family background, age, and a series of things, it doesn't matter, and the saint doesn't care about these at all. ”
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Hongdao's eyes rolled, and he said playfully: "Son, you have been with the elders since you were a child, and you must be a great talent, maybe you are the son of you in the position of prime minister." Seeing Wang Jingzhi's brows furrowed, the eldest grandson said leisurely: "Don't misunderstand, Son, I am saying that aside from the relationship of the old man, you are really a handsome man in the person." ”
