Chapter 256: Ning Wu is very poor, and the emperor is very busy

It had been a few days since Ning Wu arrived in Beijing, and His Majesty had always been very busy and did not have time to meet him.

So he was stranded in the capital.

Fortunately, there are also post shops in the capital, which are dedicated to staying for foreign officials like him, otherwise it will be difficult for him to have a foothold in this prosperous capital.

The price of staying in the hotel in the capital is more than several times more expensive than that of Lizhou, and the amount of food eaten is also unimaginable to Ning Wu.

He has always been simple, and he didn't dare to go along with the same stream in Lizhou, and even the inspection was carried by himself, without other generals.

No money is a man's greatest weakness.

What's more, he is still an official, from the fourth rank of the deputy general, everywhere in the capital, but no one is as poor as him.

Even in the official post, the eyes of the little guy looking at him were full of deep meaning.

"My lord, what do you want to eat today?" The second child of the inn came to knock on the door and ask.

These foreign officials have hospitality standards in the inn, but they can also order food, but they need to pay extra.

"It's just a matter of adaptation." Ning Wu Zhengse.

But in my heart, I was helpless.

Sure enough, I have seen many dignitaries and nobles, and the heroic Xiao Er suddenly bowed down and retreated.

Ning Wu clearly saw the disdain in this person's eyes when he turned around.

"If Your Majesty doesn't summon me again, I won't even be able to get out." Ning Wu returned to the room and opened his money bag, which was almost at the bottom.

If it weren't for the free meals in the post store, he, a four-rank general who entered Beijing and was rewarded, would not have to go to the Qinhuai River ferry outside the city to work as a coolie.

That's really a loss of face for a warrior.

"Eh, the one who lives over there, did you go and give you a reward?"

Ning Wu vaguely heard a few handymen in the shop outside, talking in a low voice.

He has good martial arts and good hearing.

But I felt even more embarrassed.

"I knew that the consumption in the capital was so high, I should have borrowed some from General Sun, and I lost my lord."

Ning Wu sighed, he didn't really care too much, but he was afraid of losing the face of the martial artists and the Lizhou battalion.

And as a deputy general from the fourth rank, he is probably the poorest, and any military attaché, even if he is a few levels lower, is richer than him.

But Ning Wu is different from others, he is not the same as others, and he deducts military salaries or eats empty salaries, not because of how decent he is.

It was Ning Wu's brother Ning Fei, who was the landlord of Qi in the Hanging Sword Division.

What Ning Wu was most afraid of was that if he was caught by the Hanging Sword Division as a traitor, it would affect Ning Fei. If this really happens, what should Ning Fei do?

Is it a cover-up, or is it a righteous annihilation?

If you come to this point, then you are really unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial, and you have to be angry with the old mother?

So, over the years, Ning Wu has also become accustomed to simplicity.

Poor is poor, anyway, it's okay to eat well, it's just that you can't consume at will, contentment is the best source of human happiness.

"Alas......"

After lunch, Ning Wu returned to the room, he wanted to go out as little as possible, so as not to accidentally offend some big man in this noble capital.

"Lord Ning?"

While meditating, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door.

Ning Wu grabbed the knife carefully, walked to the side of the door, lowered his head to prevent his shadow from being exposed, and said in a low voice: "Who?" ”

Along the way, there were a lot of black shops, and Ning Wu also killed a few, even if he went to the capital, he remained vigilant.

"Lord Ning, it's Lord Squire of the Military Department who is here." The shopkeeper of the inn, his tone has changed from the previous indifference to more flattery.

But it was his voice.

Unloading his guard, Ning Wu opened the door, and sure enough, he saw one, dressed as an official from the military department.

The imperial court and government offices are different, civil and military attachés, six cabinets, and three legal divisions...... There are differences between their respective governments.

The most obvious is the official hat.

The official hats of the officials of the military department are embroidered with mountains and rivers.

The rank can be judged by the gemstone set in the middle of the hat.

"This is the deputy general of the Lizhou battalion, General Ning Wuning, right?" Zhang Xian looked at Ning Wu with a smile, "It's really heroic and sassy, and he has the spirit of a martial artist." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, I don't know what to call it?" Ning Wu arched his hand.

Zhang Xian arched his hand towards the palace: "Zhang Xian, the squire of the Ministry of Officers and Soldiers, is ordered by His Majesty to invite the general into the palace, and His Majesty is invited." ”

"Your Majesty wants to see me?" Ning Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Your Majesty finally has time to see me, and my God, if I don't see me again, I won't be able to eat.

"General Ning, let's go into the palace with me, don't pack anything, and you can't bring weapons." Zhang Xian instructed.

"Okay, my lord, please ......" Ning Wu turned around, threw the knife back on the bed, and turned around to cover the door and please.

……

It was already afternoon, and the court had already dispersed, Xiao Pingsi had lunch and waited in the imperial study.

In the study, the sandalwood and the tea fragrance are in harmony, which is more refreshing.

After dealing with a few pieces that needed to be disposed of on the same day, Xiao Pingsi could be regarded as empty.

"Wang Feng, the weather is good today, let's go to the Imperial Garden to have a look, the plum garden should be in good bloom." Xiao Pingsi haha.

was getting up, but was reminded by Wang Feng: "Your Majesty, you decided a few days ago that you would meet Ning Wu in the imperial study in the afternoon?" The squire of the military department has already brought everyone into the palace. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Pingsi was in a trance, "It's been three days?" ”

He's too busy to remember something, so he needs someone to remind him.

Wang Feng's existence is very necessary.

Xiao Pingsi remembered that he had appointed a meeting today three days ago, but he forgot about it.

"That's it, let the flowers of the plum garden wait another day." Xiao Pingsi was a little disappointed, but he knew which was more important, and it was really inappropriate to hang the meritorious officials in order to enjoy the flowers.

"Your Majesty, you can't ...... tomorrow" Wang Feng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Huh?"

Xiao Pingsi tilted his head and looked at Wang Feng: "What's going on tomorrow, why don't I know?" ”

"Uh...... Tomorrow is the birthday of the noble concubine, Your Majesty...... Don't you go to Weiyang Palace? Wang Feng said cautiously.

Hearing this, Xiao Pingsi patted his forehead, feeling that there were too many things in recent days, and he was already anxious.

Somewhat helpless, and even suddenly restless, Xiao Pingsi complained: "Since I ascended the throne, in addition to hunting in spring and autumn every year, sometimes I can have time to enjoy and play, and I only have a few days off on weekdays for the New Year. ”

"Your Majesty is really hard." Wang Feng said from the bottom of his heart, His Majesty's diligence, he, the chief administrator, can see it clearly.

Because when His Majesty goes to work, he also has to accompany him, and he doesn't dare to complain at all.

Xiao Pingsi said angrily: "But when my father was in power, I remember that he was not so busy, and he often went to various mansions to hang out, and sometimes he drove a personal expedition, or went to play in private with Weifu?" ”

"How did he get empty?"

Xiao Pingsi stared at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng smiled bitterly: "Uh, hehe......"

Of course he knew the reason, but of course he didn't dare to say.

"Huh?" Seeing that Wang Feng's expression was different, Xiao Pingsi frowned, "Do you know the reason?" ”

"Hehe......" Wang Feng continued to giggle, trying to fool through.

Today it didn't work, Xiao Pingsi snorted lightly: "You old thing, what are you laughing at, just say it if you know?" ”

The old minister didn't dare to say more. I am afraid that there is a suspicion of misdiscussing the government and politics. "Wang Feng has always positioned himself clearly, he is an emperor's alarm clock, and he is clear about what he should not say.

Xiao Ping's silicon eyes were white: "I told you to say it, but you said it?" ”

"The old minister didn't dare to ......"

"If you don't say anything, I'll let you go to the laundry bureau to empty the urinal!" Xiao Pingsi threatened.

He didn't really want to know the answer, he just didn't know it for a while, and he just wanted to have some fun.

And Xiao Pingsi also knows this answer.

"The minister thinks ......"

Wang Feng had to say it, and said with a wry smile: "When the emperor first came, he trusted the six cabinets, and the most important thing was ...... The first emperor appointed the crown prince, ordered the prince to supervise the country, and also reused several royal highnesses at the same time......"

Hearing this, Xiao Pingsi chuckled unexpectedly.

"The minister is not trying to hint at anything, Your Majesty Mingjian." Wang Feng hurriedly confessed.

Xiao Pingsi waved his hand, but he didn't care.

Establish a prince......

This matter is played by officials every day, but those folds are thrown into the wastebasket.

"Prince?"

Xiao Pingsi nodded, calculated in his heart, and suddenly found something.

"I still have a choice?"

The king of Qin is so happy that he has no measure; The king of Qi was bold and formed a party for personal gain; The king of Wei even secretly plotted a rebellion......

Xiao Luoye is dead again, and he has long been an impostor.

Who is left now?

There are only two princes left in Beijing, King Jin and King Yong'an, who is not yet ten years old.

"Your Majesty is in full bloom, and there will be more princes in the future." Wang Feng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Pingsi puffed out his chest and seemed to feel right.

is still less than fifty, there is still a future at this age, and according to Xiao Pingsi's estimate, he should have twenty or thirty years.

Even if these princes are not competitive right now, it is not impossible to be reborn and cultivated now.

"Okay, Xuanning Wu come in." Xiao Pingsi commanded, twisted his neck, stiffened the discomfort for most of the hour, and got a little relief.
