"We welcome the Duke of Qi!"

The entire harbor was already in a tsunami at this time, and both the people and the soldiers and bureaucrats were all looking at Wang Qi on the deck with fanatical faces.

The prestige of the state of Qi is very famous, especially in the northern provinces, and it has countless fanatical fans.

After all, being able to recover Liaodong with his own strength is so comparable to the exploits of Han Zhiwei Huo, who in the world can compare?

Today, all the officials in Shandong have been counted here, and Yu Yicheng is the leader, kneeling at the port, waiting for Wang Qi to get off the ship and land.

In a short time, with a loud bang, the boat ladder was firmly on the shore.

Wang Qi was in front, Wang Shouxin, Ding Fu and others were behind, and slowly walked down from the boat.

With a click, Wang Qi stood still in front of Yu Yicheng, looked at the back of the Shandong governor kneeling on the ground, and seemed to smile:

"Hard work, Lord Yu, I must have been waiting here for a long time."

"My lord's words are serious, it is an honor for the lower officials to be able to wait for your lordship here and be responsible for organizing this trip to your hometown!" Yu Yicheng's officialdom has been up and down for decades, he has become old and refined, and now he is appointed by the imperial court to come to Zhucheng, although the emperor's attitude towards Wang Qi is still ambiguous, but in any case, in Yu Yicheng's opinion, figures like Qi Guogong will not fall so easily.

At least, Qi Guogong's power on the bright side is definitely not comparable to those jumping clowns in Donglin.

Moreover, the marriage contract between the Duke of Qi and Princess Ningde is still there, if the emperor convicts Wang Qi of rebellion at this time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

"There is no need for such a big battle, I just went back to my hometown to see the old residence, with the intention of staying away from the noise of the court and resting in the wilderness," Wang Qi said, his gaze had already crossed Yu Yicheng and stopped at an old man behind him: "Clan elder, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"See Grandpa Guo! On behalf of the Zhucheng Wang family, the old decay welcomes the grandfather of the country! "Wang Linjiang, as the only remaining clan elder of the Wang family in Zhucheng, has a lot of prestige, even if Wang Huazhen is here, he has to call him uncle.

But in front of Wang Qi, Wang Linjiang did not dare to put on the slightest posture of the clan elders.

After all, because of Wang Qi's birth, today's Zhucheng Wang family, except for the transcendent Confucian Mansion, seems to have the momentum of the first family in Shandong.

"Wang has seen Yan Shenggong," seeing the elder of the family, Wang Qi's eyes moved again, and it had already fallen on the middle-aged man on Yu Yicheng's right who thought he was slightly fat.

Contemporary Yan Shenggong, Kong Yanzhi.

"The Duke of Qi is above, if there is no sage Yu Yin, Kong will not dare to be called a prince!" Kong Yanzhi's face was ruddy, and when he saw Wang Qi talking to him, his already slender eyes narrowed even tighter, becoming a slit, and said with a smile: "Waiting here today, seeing with your own eyes, you are really a hero in the world!" In my opinion, with such luck, the grandfather of the country will be able to turn evil into good fortune! ”

"Heh, Chengyan Shenggong Ji Yan," Wang Qipi arched his hand without smiling.

In such a scene, it is clear at a glance who is the real prince and who is the fake marquis.

"Fellow villagers, Wang Qi should not disturb you when he returns to his hometown this time, but he is in the temple and can't help himself, so Wang is here to confess!" Wang Qi retracted his gaze and bowed to the people watching around: "Please disperse separately, you don't have to gather here!" ”

"Qi Guogong is such a character, he can still meet me, it is really heroic!"

"We see the Duke of Qi Guo!"

"Shandong is the title of the Duke of Qi, no matter when you come back, we will welcome your lordship!"

Shandong has always been the hometown of heroes, and this time there are characters like Wang Qi, no matter who talks about it, they will say "great goodness"!

After a short time, Yu Yicheng was on the side, Wang Linjiang, and Kong Yanzhi were half a step behind, and the officials were waiting behind, and Wang Qi was surrounded and walked out of the harbor.

Thousands of miles of trekking, today Wang Qi and his entourage are now in Lingshanwei overnight, and tomorrow they will cross the dense water to Zhucheng.

cracking sound

With the sound of several cannons and countless firecrackers, Wang Qi and everyone passed through the house.

————

When Wang Qi appeared in Lingshanwei, thousands of miles away in Beijing, Qianqing Palace.

"According to the speed of the ship, Qi Guogong will arrive at Lingshanwei today?" Sitting on the throne, Zhu Youxiao looked at the newly drawn map of the East China Sea with an expressionless face.

"Back to the emperor's words, if the news from the Duke of Qi is true, then at three o'clock today, it will be the time for Yu Yicheng, the governor of Shandong, to see the Duke of Qi," Wei Zhongxian replied cautiously, his small eyes sweeping Zhu Youxiao's cold face from time to time.

His Majesty the young emperor, these days, is already extremely resentful, the slightest mistake is the head moved, in just three days, four palace people have been pulled out and beaten to death.

Qi Guogong's behavior in Xuzhou Mansion has deeply pierced Zhu Youxiao's heart.

Killing people on the street is still an official of the imperial court, which is tantamount to a naked provocation to the imperial power!

Zhu Youxiao wants to know, what is Wang Qi going to do?

Although he was at fault and blamed Wang Qi for the deaths of the four court officials, was the reaction of this Duke of Qi too great?

I'm the emperor!

Zhu Youxiao's five fingers clenched tightly, almost tearing a corner of the map to pieces.

"Your Majesty, the minions have already instructed Dongchang Fanzi to tighten the monitoring of Qi Guogong, and at the same time have collected the crimes of Qin Erbao and others in Liaodong, and when the time is ripe, they will be brought down."

"Huh?" Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Zhu Youxiao, who was still full of anger a second ago, had a pair of cold eyes at this time, just glanced at it, and let Wei Zhongxian swallow the words that came to his mouth.

"This matter can only be done in secret, and it is absolutely not allowed to leak the news!" The meaning of Zhu Youxiao's warning is very obvious.

"The minion understands. Understood," Wei Zhongxian nodded hurriedly.

"How has Ningde been in the past two days?" When it comes to his sister-in-law, Zhu Youxiao has a headache, Wang Qi is outside, and there is a younger sister here who makes him upset.

But in any case, since the decision to marry Princess Ningde to Wang Qi, she has been a victim of royal politics.

"Your Highness is accompanied by the queen mother, and you are fine," Wei Zhongxian opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Princess Ningde made a big fuss in the Qianqing Palace yesterday, but fortunately Zhu Youxiao was not there, so she was suppressed by Wei Zhongxian.

"I can't move Wang Qi now, but there is still a normal suppression," Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath: "Let him stay in Zhucheng for a while, and when this limelight passes, pick a place and let him stay away from the court." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming," Wei Zhongxian nodded, and hurriedly sent a sycophant.

"By the way, Yang Changsi, Shi Kefa, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, these four people have done well in the local area in recent days, I have all military talents, and they are all from Jinshi, and when they come to Beijing, find time to enter the palace, I will take the exam in person."

"The minions have written it down"
