"Before my uncle sent you over, he must have made it clear to you what you were going to do?" Wang Qi ate two bites of shrimp fried rice, then stopped moving his chopsticks and sat there watching Wang Zhengyi eat.

"Before I came, Uncle Guo had already made it clear, let me follow Grandpa Guo, before and after the saddle, deal with some trivial business matters, not to mention helping Grandpa Guo share his worries, it is good to be able to exercise one or two," Wang Zheng saw that Wang Qi did not move the chopsticks, so he also put down the chopsticks in his hand, sat upright, took out a letter from his sleeve, and respectfully handed it to Wang Qi: "This is what Uncle Clan asked me to bring to Grandpa Guo!" ”

"Handled the family business before?" Wang Qi opened the letter, read it quickly, and looked up and asked anew.

"I followed the elders in the family to do some business," Wang Zhengyi licked his lips and said a little shyly: "The main thing is to follow my sister to do things, my sister alone runs the entire commercial trade from Dengzhou to Jinan in the clan, and this time I went to Beijing, and my sister led to help Grandpa Guo do things." ”

Wang Nan, Wang Zhengyi's sister, went to Beijing with him this time to help deal with the business affairs of the capital.

Wang Qi heard his uncle say about it, a woman, in the current world at the peak of feudal etiquette, can make some achievements, which is admirable.

"My sister has a cold on the road, and she is recuperating these days, and she will come to visit Grandpa Guo in two days," Seeing what Wang Qi was thinking, Wang Zhengyi hurriedly explained, lest he misunderstand.

"It's okay, things haven't started here in the capital yet, and when the illness is cured, it's not too late to start," Wang Qi nodded, thought for a moment and asked: "You and your sister will come to live in the house tomorrow, and I will find a few imperial doctors tomorrow to see a doctor for your sister, otherwise my uncle will blame me for not taking good care of my relatives." ”

"This," Wang Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately got up and bowed down: "Thank you Grandpa Guo for your love!" ”

can make Wang Qi really treat him as a family, except for Wang Huazhen, there are few Wang families in the entire Zhucheng, if he can really become the henchman of Grandpa Guo by virtue of this opportunity, then it will be just around the corner in the future?

Wang Zhengyi is seventeen years old this year, he looks quite clever, and he has his own views on the commerce and trade of Beijing, although sometimes he is not mature, but in Wang Qi it seems harmless, where there are ideas, he can have opinions and think about things, it is good, and the experience of doing things can be accumulated slowly, but the width and depth of thinking can not be changed for a while.

Wang Zhengyi has done a good job in this regard.

And what kind of strange woman Wang Nan trained her with one hand also made Wang Qi look forward to the commercial development of the capital in the future.

About half an hour later, after drinking the tea after the meal, Wang Zhengyi got up respectfully and bowed to Wang Qi: "Cousin, it's not too early, I should go back too, otherwise my sister is afraid to worry at home." ”

Wang Qi nodded when he heard this: "There is a curfew in Beijing at night, let Shouxin send you back." ”

Not long after, in the midst of a thousand thanks, Wang Zhengyi left.

After sitting alone for a while, Wang Qi got up and walked towards the back garden.

Sent to the maid servant, Wang Qi sat alone in the pavilion next to the pond rockery, the breeze was blowing, the bright moon hung high, which could soothe people's mood, looking at the golden scales that jumped from the water from time to time, the water rippled, and the brilliance was overflowing.

Living in the capital for a long time, the war situation in Liaodong seems to have become a very distant thing, and the flowers in the capital are dizzying, not to mention the beauty of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River? Who has lived here for a long time, and who still has that ambition?

Today's words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse fell on Wang Qi's ears, which can already be regarded as a gesture of favor and compromise.

Zhu Youxiao has already made it very clear that in the battle of the Later Jin Dynasty, Wang Qi, the Duke of Langguo, mainly did strategic and tactical support in the rear, and the specific actions could be handed over to Xiong Tingbi and others, which could be regarded as an explanation to the people of the world.

At least nominally.

Wang Qi looked up at the bright moonlight, as for the facts?

Emperor Apocalypse's good calculation can be regarded as a crackling sound.

First, let Wang Qi sit in the rear, on the one hand, keep him in the center of the imperial court, so that his influence on the local area is minimized.

Second: let Xiong Tingbi step up the cultivation of the court's manpower and cronies to replace the generals and private soldiers left by Wang Qi in Liaodong.

Third: Balancing the court, Donglin has died so many people this time, if Wang Qi is still allowed to continue to be in charge of the military and political power, there will be a lot of discussion in the world, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse will also have doubts.

Therefore, there is a dinner together during the day.

Therefore, there are three people who have been discussing the government and the opposition recently.

The emperor's disguised compensation is just that.

Recently, Qin Erbao, who was far away in Liaodong, also sent a letter to Wang Qi: Xiong Tingbi had begun to prepare to launch an attack on the remnants of the Houjin forces.

Since the battle of Ningyuan City, Houjin's forces have shrunk to Shenyang City, Fushun Line, and even Liaoyang City has been abandoned, forming a strategically complete defense.

From this point of view, it also gave Xiong Tingbi the confidence to raise troops in a big way after gathering strength.

As for whether you want to listen to the emperor's words and ask Wang Qi about everything?

In other words, any palace minister with high ambition will definitely not ask for a military general at this juncture.

This will be a stain on his future confession.

It's not a matter of personal likes or dislikes, it's just a matter of fact.

Wang Qi is also powerless about this, or in other words, Xiong Tingbi's approach can be understood.

However, Qin Erbao also said another thing in the letter: as long as it is a military general closely related to Wang Qi, not only Qin Erbao, but also Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Luo Yiyi and others. In the strategic arrangement of the extermination of Houjin, everything has stood aside.

On the contrary, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and others were in the defense of Ningyuan City and obeyed orders under Xiong Tingqiang, and this battle was also reused, and they were respectively appointed as the Liaodong transfer envoy and the forward commander-in-chief.

"My lord, the person has been sent back," Wang Shouxin walked into Wang Qi and bowed to his life.

"Well," Wang Qi nodded, and didn't tell anything else: "You can also go and rest early." ”

"My lord," Wang Shouxin hesitated for a moment before continuing, "the lost gunpowder has some eyebrows. ”

"Let's talk about it," Wang Qi looked back at Wang Shouxin when he heard this.

During the daily inspection of the warehouse of Wanggong Factory in Beijing, the gunpowder used in the experiment of Liangtun was inexplicably lost.

In fact, relatively speaking, not many people care about the inventory of black powder on weekdays, after all, there is no specific archive of these gunpowder in the Ministry of Industry, and it doesn't matter too much if there is more or less.

However, a month ago, Xu Guangqi had suggested that the cabinet chief of ceremonies should rectify the powder magazine, after all, such a large amount of gunpowder is stored in Beijing, and the flow of people is so dense, in case of an accident, it is not trivial. After the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew about this, he ordered the celebrant to count the amount of gunpowder, and after such a comparison, there was an error of about two tons in quantity.

Two tons of black powder, tsk, who will use these things?

At this time, Wang Qi happened to return to Beijing and was in charge of the errand of Jinyiwei, so the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked Wang Qi to be in charge of the investigation.
