Chapter Eighty-Four: The Emperor Among the Thorns
A reminder every day, Sanjiang ticket.
When Wang Ce and Shi Shiran rushed to the palace again, the banquet had already begun.
Fortunately, the emperor has not appeared for the time being! Wang Ce and the three of them quietly appeared, except for some people with a heart, others generally won't pay attention.
The banquet held in the palace is to show that it attaches great importance to the young martial arts, which is a tradition.
One imperial examination, one martial arts, and one martial arts. It is that the emperor always tries to attend as much as possible, and no matter how busy he is, it is necessary to show his face to show his thirst for talents.
The beginning of autumn martial arts is a tradition in various countries, and it is a young version of martial arts. The emperor rewarded countless official titles every year to the young men who performed martial arts, and most of the teenagers from ordinary backgrounds often joined the army because of this.
Why did the martial arts boy get the attention of the imperial court? They are innocent, they are full of vitality, they are the heroes who have emerged from all over the Northern Tang Dynasty, and they are the future of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
The Northern Tang Dynasty needed innocent warriors to become the backbone of the Eight Fu Army. The Emperor needs the loyalty of an army that has nothing to do with sectarian families!
Zhu Haitang and Xiong Shiwu were restless, and they didn't know if the arrest of King Gong would cause any trouble. It's not a question of whether it will be, it will be.
The management body of the royal family and relatives is the Zongzheng Mansion, and it is not the turn of the Nanya to intervene.
Compared with the two friends, Wang Ce smiled heartlessly, clinked glasses with Qin Tie and the three teenagers from the Northwest Mansion, drank happily, laughed happily, and became the most abrupt voice in the hall.
Soon talked about the whereabouts of the martial arts boys, most of them were Bafu. Wang Zhizhi showed some envy slightly, and frankly said, he felt that there were some teenagers who were good this time. Qin Tie immediately expressed contempt!
"Not bad? Qin Tie was full of a unique arrogance, and said disdainfully: "No matter how good the cultivation is, they all need to be retrained, and the army is the army!"
Seeing Wang Ce pondering, Qin Tie and the three of them said proudly: "It's not so easy to be a qualified soldier. What's more, they want to be junior officers, and they don't know discipline, training, tactics, or formation. ”
Qin Tie waved his hand: "They don't understand anything, and they have to practice slowly." ”
Wang Ce suddenly felt that the arrogance of Qin Tie and his companions was a kind of pride that only belonged to veterans!
The three teenagers on the side interjected: "Yes, these guys are nothing, and they still have to practice." After a pause, he introduced himself: "In the next Ren Xi, from Dajiang Mansion!"
......
......
Qin Tie, Ren Xi, and even some other teenagers.
Less than halfway through the dinner, Wang Ce took the initiative to talk and laugh with some teenagers. Take out the words of a businessman, not to mention fooling, but it is not difficult to make some new friends.
has been down, but Wang Ce's side of the conversation and laughter is the loudest and most eye-catching.
The two yas are not suitable for befriending courtiers and generals, and this invisible law is not a fart in front of Wang Ce. Wang Ce thought shamelessly, anyway, Lao Tzu's body is only sixteen years old, and what he does is not too out of line.
It's not that Wang Ce deliberately made friends, it's just that some teenagers do talk about speculation. It's like Qin Tie and Ren Xi's veteran temperament, which obviously makes him envious!
Qin Tie and other veterans from the frontier also did not have too sensitive political nerves. It's like a representative boy of the Beijing Army, who didn't dare to get to Wang Ce's side at all!
Zhu Haitang and Xiong Shiwu are the surnames of teenagers, and it didn't take long for them to join the topic.
Once it comes to the Bafu Army, there is a steady stream of topics. On the contrary, Ren Xi sighed at the end: "If you are from Beiya, it will be fine." ”
Wang Ce shrugged his shoulders and was dumbfounded: "What's the matter, be friends the same." ”
While chatting, I didn't forget to eat some delicacies, which are more or less Wang Ce's favorite things. How to miss it!
While enjoying the food, Qin Tie complained: "In the Northwest Mansion, the most annoying thing is that there are not many delicious things, and I am full of sand every day. Where can it be compared to Dajiangfu. ”
chatted all the way, and after a while, the emperor in a dragon robe appeared gorgeously and delivered a speech to win over the heart of the martial arts boy. Then, try to say a few simple words one by one.
In the end, it was the turn of the top ten in this martial arts exercise.
When it was Wang Ce's turn, the emperor smiled, his eyes were vaguely complicated, and he wavered, and in the end he only said some words of encouragement, and then went through the motions.
......
......
Returning to the retreat, the emperor changed back into civilian clothes and walked silently in the quiet garden.
The old eunuch Wang is like a transparent person, and like the shadow of the emperor, silently following him, but always making people ignore his existence.
Standing in an open space, a eunuch led Tan Jiru forward, and Tan Jiru's eyes looked deep at night: "Your Majesty, Wang Ce led the crowd to arrest King Gong before entering the palace!"
"What?" the emperor was shocked: "He, arrested King Gong?"
The emperor returned to his senses with a thought, revealing a touch of helplessness: "I allowed him to let go, I thought he would ...... Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that the first thing that kid did was to arrest King Gong!"
The emperor was shocked and smiled bitterly, this was really a bold act! If it were not for the emperor's support, this act would definitely be a dead end.
The emperor suddenly had a headache, and this time Wang Ce caused him a lot of trouble. If Zongzheng Mansion comes to the door, it will be as difficult for him as an emperor.
Presumably, once the news spreads, many people will not be able to sleep tonight. What's even worse is that tomorrow the government and the opposition will definitely shake.
Tan Ji Ru was indifferent: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wang Ce's move is not necessarily a bad thing. ”
The emperor coughed and waved his hand: "You arranged, I don't want Wang Ce to lose a single hair." ”
Tan Ji Ru's jaw: "In this way, I don't know how Your Majesty plans to place Wang Ce's position?"
Sometimes, it is a way to give a title first, and then slowly promote it. Sometimes, when qualifications are insufficient, this always makes up for some problems.
Wang Ce's title of Zhengwupin is already quite a general leader in Nanya. If it is placed in a locality, it will be the affairs of the southern government of a province in general! Unfortunately, Wang Ce's qualifications are too shallow.
The Northern Tang Dynasty has never had a tradition of ascending to the sky in one step, it doesn't matter if the position is empty, the actual position must be promoted step by step. Even if the emperor has the heart, it is already the limit to exploit the loopholes of the big test and martial arts.
The emperor muttered: "The second staff leader is also the leader of the Southern Wu Army." ”
Talking about Ji Ru saluted, turned around and drifted away.
The emperor was silent, and the old eunuch Wang whispered: "Your Majesty, what Ji said is extremely true, that kid caught King Gong seems to be reckless, this may not be an opportunity." Your Majesty's ambition and hegemony may not be impossible to start here. ”
"Ambitious and domineering!" the emperor sneered and coughed bitterly: "How can it be so easy, my ambition is ...... compared to the time I ascended the throne Alas!"
The emperor walked into the thorn bush, and the thorns hung the dragon robe to shreds, and even the thorns were covered with a lot of blood: "Old Wang, you see, this is me! I am always surrounded by some thorns. ”
"Your Majesty, then split the thorns, you can do it. Eunuch Wang said softly.
The emperor didn't say a word, and only after a while did he look at the starry sky and say to himself: "Old Wang, I originally planned to talk to that kid in detail today." However, when I saw him, I suddenly realized that it was not the right time. ”
"Yes, it's not the time yet. I want to see how far that kid can go!"
......
......
The dinner is over!
Wang Ce and Qin Tie made an appointment, and in the next few days, they enjoyed the martial arts together, and they went their separate ways.
"The starry sky is so beautiful! I really want to know what lies beyond the starry sky. ”
Stepping back to their respective homes with Zhu Haitang and Da Xiong, Wang Ce dragged out a long shadow under the moon alone.
"Lao Gu originally wanted me to come over in the name of your master. I refused, and that would hurt you. ”
There was an extra cyan figure beside Wang Ce, and he sighed: "Uncle Gu is always inconsiderate sometimes. ”
Why are others afraid of the half-emperor soul, because he has always been a loner and has no burdens. Just talking about the wanton killing of half-emperor souls, I don't know how much revenge there is. If he becomes a master, then Wang Ce's fate will be bleak.
"However, if you want to learn swordsmanship. I'll teach you! I can only do swordsmanship. Under the green umbrella that he held forever, there was a faint but affirmative tone.
"Old Gu asked me to tell you a word!"
"Never trust the Emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty!"
I don't know why, this sentence looks gloomy under the bright moon!
