As if he had made an appointment, Wang Jinling prepared the food and wine early and dismissed the servants. He was not surprised at all by the uninvited arrival of Uncle Nine Emperors and Feng Qingchen. There were only three of them in the courtyard.
After not seeing each other for many days, Wang Jinling lost a lot of weight and couldn't see clearly from a distance. When he got closer, he realized that Wang Jinling's clothes almost hung on his body, and his eyes were particularly large.
During this period, his life was not easy at all.
Feng Qingchen was still angry with Wang Jinling and didn't say anything after coming in. She just stood on one side and watched Wang Jinling and Nine Emperors Uncle saying some words that she didn't understand.
Although Wang Jinling kept talking to Uncle Nine Emperors, his eyes kept falling on Feng Qingchen. Seeing Feng Qingchen's sullen face, Wang Jinling didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
I'm glad that Feng Qingchen cares about him, but I'm sad that Feng Qingchen doesn't care about him that much. If Uncle Nine Emperors did this, Feng Qingchen would definitely give Uncle Nine Emperors a hard time afterwards, but not him.
This is the difference between friends and lovers, and it is also the gap that he and Feng Qingchen cannot cross. Wang Jinling's expression is gloomy, and he does not have the calmness to deal with the Wang family outside, and his behavior lacks a sense of ease. When greeting Feng Qingchen and
Uncle Jiuhuang sat down and poured wine for Feng Qingchen himself.
"Qingchen, I'm sorry for causing trouble for the Wang family. Thank you for Jinhan's incident." Wang Jinling raised his glass and drank it all, but his mouth was filled with bitterness.
Feng Qingchen hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, thought about it and swallowed the words that came to his lips, and drank all the wine in the cup: "I can't talk about the implication, as long as you are fine, as for Jin Han,
He was seriously injured and has not woken up yet. I have tried my best to treat him, but his condition is really not good. If you have time, go and see him more often."
Even if Wang Jinhan is not paralyzed, his movements in the future will be affected. It may be impossible for him to be the same as before. If he wants to walk normally, he will need a period of rehabilitation.
"I will go see him as soon as possible. Jinhan's matter may still trouble you for a while. You have also seen the situation of the Wang family. Today we are only dealing with some people in the center of power. There are still many people waiting to clean up. This time
I must clean it up and never let Jin Han's injuries go to waste." He almost died and Jin Han was seriously injured. He paid such a high price and would never give up halfway or be merciful.
Seeing the tiredness and bitterness in Wang Jinling's eyes, Feng Qingchen lost his temper no matter how angry he was. Wang Jinling was the one who was most hurt by this incident. If he had no other choice, Wang Jinling would not have put all his efforts into it.
"Don't worry about it. Jin Han and I have also met each other. I'm not used to you being so unfamiliar." This time, it was Feng Qingchen who poured wine for Wang Jinling.
"The past is gone, the new year is coming, everything will get better and better." The last glass of wine was Wang Jinling's apology, and this glass of wine was Feng Qingchen's understanding.
The Wang family is not the Feng family. The Wang family's power struggle is no less than that of the royal family. It is normal to shed blood and lose lives. Every family has its own characteristics. Wang Jinling's way of doing things is what the Wang family needs.
"Qingchen is right, we will all get better and better." Feng Qingchen's understanding put a smile on Wang Jinling's face, although the smile was still very light.
For Wang Jinling, there is really nothing to be happy about this year.
With Feng Qingchen's understanding, Wang Jinling was able to think of Uncle Nine Emperors: "Thank you for your help in this matter. Jin Ling toasts to you."
Wang Jinling had expected that the Wang family would poison him, and had prepared an antidote in advance. However, he did not expect that the Wang family would give him a deep sleep, and only the Nine Emperors Uncle had the antidote for the deep sleep.
This time, Uncle Nine Emperors really helped him a lot. If Uncle Nine Emperors had been cruel and let him die, then everything that followed would have been unnecessary.
"It's just mutual benefit. I really want to thank this king and come up with something substantial." Uncle Nine Emperors finished the drink in one gulp and said the key point of today.
Going to the theater was an impromptu decision, but the benefits of discussing it were already thought out.
Wang Jinling nodded clearly: "Do you want a quota for the scientific examination?"
The Wang family had it, but what Uncle Nine Emperors wanted, Wang Jinling thought about it a lot, and decided that this was the only thing he wanted.
"Ten." After the beginning of spring, the first scientific examination in Dongling will be held. In addition to students who have passed the examination at the county level, there are also quotas unique to aristocratic families. With this quota, children of aristocratic families can directly participate in the scientific examination without going through the examination.
Selection at all levels.
The emperor wanted to reuse students from poor families, but he could not push the children of aristocratic families to the bottom at once. The emperor gave various aristocratic families some quotas to directly participate in the imperial examination, and also gave Qingliu celebrities a recommended quota. This move was for
To appease the aristocratic families and win over those Qingliu scholars.
"Ten? Do you know how many places there are in the Wang family?" No matter how calm and calm Wang Jinling was, he was frightened by the Nine Emperors Uncle's big mouth at this time.
There are tens of thousands of people in the Wang family and thousands of young students. There are only thirty places in total. Of these thirty places, there are ten more that Wang Jinling got from the scholars at Jixia Academy. The Nine Emperors Uncle will leave as soon as he opens his mouth.
One-third, taking away all the places he wanted from Jixia Academy, is really cruel.
"I only know that the Wang family has the most quota." Uncle Nine Emperors' words clearly indicate that he is a wealthy family.
The Cui family didn't catch up, and the emperor didn't dare to use the Cui family. There was no quota for the Cui family. The big families were headed by the Wang and Xie families. The Xie family followed the emperor's lead. The emperor gave ten places willingly, and the Xie family also
Don't dare to argue.
As for the Wang family, the emperor's original plan was to have one or two more places than the Xie family, but with Wang Jinling's strength and Wang Jinling's talent, the Wang family just got twenty places.
Wang Jinling smiled helplessly: "I will use these quotas to bribe people."
"After this incident, the strength of the Wang family has been damaged. If you give these ten places to talented students from poor families, they will be grateful to the Wang family, and the emperor will temporarily let the Wang family go. You should know very well that the emperor does not want students from aristocratic families to be among the
Move." The Wang family lost more than a dozen direct descendants in an instant. These direct descendants owned thousands of shops. If someone suddenly takes over, there will definitely be chaos. If the Wang family needs a breather, they must please the emperor.
This is the rule.
"You've been fine for a long time. What else can I say? Ten out of ten." The Nine Emperors Uncle was obviously taking advantage of the situation, but he still acted confidently and looked like he was doing his best. This was really irritating.
Feng Qingchen gave a muffled laugh, then peeled and ate the peanuts obediently, acting like a qualified theatergoer. You must know that this was the play that Uncle Nine Emperors wanted her to watch, to watch Wang Jinling eat.
Wang Jinling was relieved about the number of places in the scientific examination, but he didn't expect Uncle Nine Emperors to be satisfied with this at all. He continued: "The power of Wang Shan, Wang Ren, and Wang Zhi will put your brother-in-law in jail."
The other members of the Wang family were expelled from the Wang family, and it was easy for Wang Jinling to deal with them. But there was one person that Wang Jinling couldn't move, and that was Uncle Wang, who had the emperor as his support, and the people Uncle Wang brought with him.
Not everyone dares to touch the emperor's people.
"The shops they own account for nearly half of the Wang family's wealth." Wang Jinling was not surprised at all. The Nine Emperors Uncle had made it clear today that he was here to prey on the Wang family. If the Wang family didn't bleed some blood, they might not be able to do it.
"Breaking money and eliminating disasters. I want the hidden threads in their hands. If you like the store, you can keep it." As a big family with clan members spread all over Kyushu, the best business to do is of course smuggling. The smuggling threads in the hands of Wang Shan and the others happened to be
Dongling to Beiling.
Beiling is a barren land, but Uncle Nine Emperors values that place very much. The people of Beiling are brave and good at fighting, guarding the ice and snow, and they can still stand side by side with Dongling, Nanling and Xiling. This shows that Beiling is a really good place.
"The stores in their hands are losing money every year." Wang Jinling was telling Uncle Nine Emperors that one person cannot take advantage of such things as bargains.
"With it in your hands, we can naturally turn a loss into a win." Uncle Nine Emperors also made it clear that he would decide on the hidden line of the Wang family.
It was not that he had not thought about giving in to Bu Jingyun to find a new route, but Bu Fan went to Beiling. The people in Beiling were quite xenophobic and distrustful of people from the other three countries. A small fight was fine, but he wanted to take a ride.
It would take more than ten or twenty years to get to the top of Beiling.
"What's the difference between the Wang family falling into your hands and falling into the emperor's hands?" Wang Jinling understood Uncle Nine Emperors' purpose of wanting this line, but this line is the most profitable line for the Wang family. Without this income, the Wang family's income will be reduced.
will be affected.
"The Emperor will trample the Wang family into the mud and make it impossible for the Wang family to stand up forever. I have broken up the Wang family and will allow the Wang family to rise again." Uncle Nine Emperors did not hide his attitude towards the Wang family at all.
"I need to think about it." Wang Jinling also understands that the Wang family's situation is like a raging fire cooking oil. It looks like a flowery place, but in fact it is in danger at every step. He must be careful every step he takes, because if he makes a mistake, he will be destroyed.
"There is no rush, the New Year is coming, I will not disturb the eldest son, Qingchen, let's go." After the conditions were laid out, Uncle Nine Emperors did not bother with Wang Jinling anymore, he picked up Feng Qingchen and left.
"The midnight hour is approaching, so you can't stay with me until the end of the year." Wang Jinling stood up to persuade her to stay, but her eyes fell on Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen was about to speak when Uncle Nine Emperors said first: "There are so many Wang family members outside, and they are still waiting for the eldest son to go out. I and Qingchen will not disturb the eldest son."
Uncle Nine Emperors didn't give Feng Qingchen a chance to speak at all. He picked up the person and jumped onto the roof.
Wang Jinling stood in the courtyard, staring in the direction where Feng Qingchen left in a daze.
It's just that he was unwilling for two quarters of an hour. Uncle Nine Emperors was really becoming more and more stingy. Of course, Uncle Nine Emperors' appetite was getting bigger and bigger. He wanted the Wang family's most profitable business when he opened his mouth. He was really not so ruthless.
"Sir, several elders have been waiting for you in the hall for a long time. I don't know when he will be able to go." Wang Jinling's personal bodyguard waited outside for a long time. They had no choice but to boldly come in.
Wang Jinling straightened his clothes, still with a gentle smile on his face: "Inform a few elders to open the ancestral hall. If you have anything to say to the ancestors, go to them."
There is no possibility of changing the things decided in the ancestral hall. This time he will not show mercy...
