Chapter 84 The Emperor in the Thorns
Chapter 84 The Emperor among the Thorns
When Wang Ce and the other two rushed to the palace again, the banquet had already begun.
Fortunately, the emperor has not appeared yet! Wang Ce and the other two quietly appeared, except for some people who are interested, others generally would not pay attention to it.
The banquet was held in the palace to show importance to the young men who performed martial arts, which is a tradition.
One is the imperial examination, one is the martial arts examination, and one is the martial arts performance. It is necessary for the emperor to attend as much as possible. No matter how busy he is, it is necessary to show his desire for talents.
The beginning of autumn martial arts exercises is a tradition of various countries and a young version of martial arts exercises. The emperor rewarded countless official titles to martial arts youth every year, and most of them who came from ordinary families often devoted themselves to the army because of this.
Why did the young men in martial arts receive attention from the court? They are innocent and energetic. They are heroes who emerge from all over the Northern Tang Dynasty and are the future of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
The Northern Tang needed innocent warriors to become the backbone of the Eighth Prefecture Army. The emperor needed the loyalty of an army that had nothing to do with the sect and family!
Zhu Haitang and Xiong Shiwu were restless and did not know if the arrest of King Gong would cause any trouble. It was not a question of whether it would be possible, but it would definitely be possible.
The management organization of the royal family and relatives is Zongzheng's Mansion, and it is not the Nanya that comes to intervene.
No matter how much his two friends, Wang Ce smiled heartlessly, clinked glasses with three young men from Northwest Mansion, drank happily, and laughed happily, becoming the most abrupt voice in the hall.
Soon, when talking about the whereabouts of the young man acting in the martial arts, it was mostly eight palaces. Wang Taowei showed some envy. To be honest, he felt that some young men were good this time. Qin Tie immediately expressed his contempt!
"Not bad? It's far from it." Qin Tie was full of a unique arrogance and said disdainfully: "No matter how good the cultivation level is, they all need to be retrained, and the army is the army!"
Seeing Wang Ce pondering, Qin Tie and the other two said proudly: "It is not that easy to be a qualified soldier. Besides, they are going to be subordinate officers. They do not understand discipline, practice, tactics, and array."
Qin Tie waved his hand: "They don't know anything, they still have to practice slowly."
Wang Ce suddenly felt that Qin Tie and his companions' arrogance was a kind of pride that belonged only to veterans!
The three teenagers on the side interrupted: "Yes, these guys are nothing, they still need to practice." After a pause, they introduced themselves: "Next Ren Xi, from Dajiang Mansion!"
Qin Tie, Ren Xi, and even some other teenagers.
Not halfway through the dinner, Wang Ce took the initiative to chat and laugh with some of the better young men. He used the verbal skills of a businessman and did not talk about fooling him, but it was not difficult to make some new friends.
As the conversation and laughter on Wang Ce's side were the most loud and eye-catching.
The two yamen are not suitable for making friends with court officials and military generals. This invisible rule is nothing in front of Wang Ce. Wang Ce shamelessly thought, since I am only sixteen years old, nothing is too out of line.
It’s not that Wang Ce deliberately made friends, but some teenagers did talk about speculation. Just like the veteran temperament of Qin Tie and Ren Xi, he obviously envied him!
Veterans from the frontier such as Qin Tie did not have too sensitive political nerves. Just like the representative young man of the Beijing Army, he did not dare to join Wang Ce at all!
Zhu Haitang and Xiong Shiwu were the teenagers' minds and soon they couldn't help but add to the topic.
Once the Eighth Prefecture Army was talking about, there were endless topics. Instead, Ren Xi finally sighed: "If you were from the Northern Yamen, that would be great."
Wang Ce shrugged and said in a silence: "What's the matter? Be friends too."
While chatting, I didn’t forget to eat some delicious food. The food is mostly something that Wang Ce loves more. How can I miss it!
While enjoying the food, Qin Tie complained: "In Northwest Mansion, the most annoying thing is that there are not many delicious foods. He is full of sand every day. How can he compare to Dajiang Mansion?"
After chatting all the way, the emperor in the dragon robe made a gorgeous appearance and delivered a speech to win over the hearts of the young man who performed martial arts. Then, he tried to say a few simple words one by one.
Finally, it was the top ten martial arts performances this time.
When it was Wang Ce's turn, the emperor smiled, his eyes were vaguely complicated, and he was shaken. In the end, he only said some words of encouragement and finished the process.
After retreating, the emperor changed into casual clothes and walked silently in the quiet garden.
Old Eunuch Wang is like a transparent man and the shadow of the emperor. He follows him silently, but he always ignores his existence.
Standing in an open open space, a eunuch led Tan Jiru to come, 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 captured King Gong?"
The emperor came back to his senses and showed helplessness: "I promised him to let go, and I thought he would... I didn't expect that the child's first thing was to capture King Gong!"
The emperor was shocked and smiled bitterly. This was really a bold act! If it weren't for the emperor's support, this act would definitely be a dead end.
The emperor suddenly had a headache. This time Wang Ce caused him a lot of trouble. If Zong Zheng Mansion came to him, it would be difficult for him to be the emperor.
I believe that once the news spreads, many people will not be able to sleep tonight. What’s even more terrible is that the government and the country will be vibrated tomorrow.
Tan Jiru was calm: "Your Majesty, I think Wang Ce's move may not be a bad thing."
The emperor coughed and waved his hand: "You arranged that I don't want Wang Ce to lose a hair."
Talk about Ji Ruheshou: "In this way, I wonder how Your Majesty plans to settle Wang Ce's position?" General Xuanwu, the fifth-rank rank, was awarded the title of virtual title, not the actual position.
Sometimes, giving a rank first and then slowly promoting is a way. Sometimes, when there is insufficient qualifications, this can always make up for some problems.
Wang Ce's fifth-rank title is already quite a general in charge of the Nanya. If it is placed in the local area, it is the general in charge of the Nanya affairs of a province! Unfortunately, Wang Ce's qualifications are too shallow.
There was never a tradition of reaching the sky in the Northern Tang Dynasty. It doesn’t matter if the empty position is empty, but the actual position must be promoted step by step. Even if the emperor is determined, it is already the limit to exploit loopholes in big trials and martial arts.
The emperor pondered: "The two geniuses should also be the geniuses of the Nanwu Army."
Tan Jiru bowed and turned around and floated away.
The emperor was silent, and the old eunuch Wang whispered: "Your Majesty, Tan Ji Ru said so well. The child seemed to be rash when he captured King Gong, and this may not be a chance. Your Majesty's heroic career may not be able to start from here."
"The emperor sneered and coughed bitterly: "It's not that easy. My ambition is already...ah!"
The emperor walked up and walked into the bushes of thorns. The thorns hung the dragon robe so thin that it was even covered with blood: "Old Wang, look, this is me! I am always surrounded by some thorns."
"Your Majesty, then you can split the thorns." Old eunuch Wang said softly.
The emperor did not say a word, and after a while, he looked at the starry sky and said to himself: "Old Wang, I originally planned to talk to that child in detail today. However, when I saw him, I suddenly realized that it was not the time."
"Yes, it's not the time. I want to see how much that child can do!"
The dinner is over!
Wang Ce and Qin Tie and others made an appointment to appreciate martial arts performance together in the next few days, and then they parted ways.
"The starry sky is so beautiful! I really want to know what is outside the starry sky."
He embarked on his way back to his own homes with Zhu Haitang and Big Bear, and Wang Ce was alone under the moon and dragged out a long shadow.
"Old Gu originally wanted me to come in the name of your master. If I refuse, it will implicate you."
There was a green figure around Wang Ce, and he sighed: "Uncle Gu is always inadequate in thinking about it sometimes."
Why do others fear half-emperor souls? Because he has always been alone and has no burden. Just talking about the style of half-emperor souls killing people at will, I don’t know how much enemies they have made. If he becomes a master, Wang Ce’s fate will be miserable.
"But if you want to learn swordsmanship, I will teach you! I only know swordsmanship." Under the green umbrella that was always holding, a calm and affirmative tone came.
"Old Gu asks me to tell you something!"
"Absolutely don't trust the Northern Tang Emperor!"
For some reason, this sentence actually looks gloomy under the bright moon!
