When Zhu Zhanji arrived in Taiyuan before, he moved into Prince Jin's Mansion, and the two of them never had time to have such a private conversation. This time they finally had the opportunity to discuss some issues.
"Why did King Jin's attitude suddenly change?" Zhu Zhanji asked: "But I have a vague feeling that he seems determined to eat us to death."
"Don't worry, the thing in his hand should be rotten into a pile by now," Wang Xian chuckled and told Zhu Zhanji the truth of the matter.
"You are so...lost." Zhu Zhan basically wanted to say, you are really bold, but when he thought that in that situation, only Wang Xian could come up with such a method, he changed his mind. But he got more and more
The more he thought about it, the happier he said: "I don't know what my cousin's expression will be like when he finds out."
"Haha, but this King Jin is really a powerful character." Wang Xian smiled and said seriously: "Of course, one thing will bring down another, and the person who will deal with him in the future will most likely be his nephew who faked his death and escaped."
"Yeah." Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Let me tell you, I am also very interested in this cousin. But how can we find him and his father?"
"I think he will come to me." Wang Xian said softly, "We will just wait for him."
"Okay, this is not something we should be anxious about." Zhu Zhanji nodded, looked at Wang Xian and said: "You don't have to worry about things in Shanxi, just go back to Beijing. Let me catch the young man for several months, I guess my sister-in-law
You’ve already scolded me to death.”
"Your sister-in-law doesn't know how to curse," Wang Xian said with a smile, "The most she can do is slander you."
"Then I can't stand it." Zhu Zhanji laughed loudly and said seriously: "There is still more than a month until spring. Go back and prepare for it for a month. Is it okay to be a Jinshi?"
"Take the Jinshi exam?" Wang Xian shook his head and said, "Forget it. I haven't touched a book for more than half a year, so I won't make a fool of myself."
"Who doesn't know that it is more difficult to pass the imperial examination in Zhejiang than to pass the Jinshi examination?" Zhu Zhanji fussed: "You have already passed the imperial examination in Zhejiang, so there is no reason not to take the Jinshi examination."
"It's not like you don't know how I got hit." Wang Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Now the masters in the East Palace are all squatting in the prison, and no one can help me this time." He still had worries. Last time
In Qiu Wei, there were people in Zhejiang who wanted to plot against him. This time in the capital, Ji Gang, Zhu Gaoxu and others wanted to plot against him. It was really easy. For example, they bribed the soldiers patrolling the field and poured a cup of ink on your paper.
, your exam will be ruined this time. Or, like last time, I was framed for you during the body search. This time there will be no Zhou Xin’s subordinates to protect him... So no matter what your original official position was, you will be in Gongyuan.
It's just a matter of letting others slaughter you. I believe Ji Gang and the others will never let go of this good opportunity... After thinking about this section, how can Wang Xian throw himself into the trap again?
And in the final analysis, after carefully weighing it, he thought that with his current official position and merits, it no longer meant much whether he passed the imperial examination... In the future, when the prince succeeds to the throne, he will naturally flourish. If the prince unfortunately does not succeed, then he will take the imperial examination.
The No. 1 pick will also be defeated. In that case, why not take the risk of being slapped in the face and try to test that thing?
Zhu Zhanji persuaded a few people, but seeing Wang Xian's firm attitude, he said nothing more, "Okay, you can just accept it when you see it. Yang Shiqi is also a juren, and he is not in Wenyuan Pavilion. I think those who have a juren background
, the knowledge is not as good as his."
"Haha..." Wang Xian smiled bitterly in his heart. He was delayed in a special period. How can he be the same as me who is unlearned and unskilled? Not wanting to discuss this topic anymore, he started another topic and said: "I was able to escape from Wutai County back then.
, thanks to some of the officers guarding Taiyuan, but they also severely offended King Jin. Once we leave, they may not survive. If you have a chance, rescue them."
"Okay." Zhu Zhanji nodded happily and said, "Prince Jin can't even deny me this little face."
"That's..." Wang Xian gave a gentle flattery, which made Zhu Zhanji feel comfortable: "Compared to building a good relationship with His Highness Taisun, what is a mere trace of evil?"
The two chatted for a few more words, feeling that their bodies were completely frozen, so they went back to the house, cooked by the fire, ate wine, and continued chatting. They slept in the same bed that night... In fact, Wang Xian really didn't want to be with Zhu Zhanji.
But in this era, this is a way to express closeness. A boss is especially willing to use this method to show his respect for his subordinates. He could only endure the discomfort and slept with Zhu Zhanji for a night.
.
It's just a pure sleep, there is no untold story...
The next day, Wang Xian announced that he would return to Taiyuan. In fact, he was in a hurry to leave. Another reason was that he did not want to steal the show from Taisun, because here, no matter whether he was a soldier of the Young Army or a member of the White Lotus Sect, everything big and small would be ignored.
Habitually asking him for instructions, if this happens for a long time, Zhu Zhanji will inevitably be embarrassed. Although Zhu Zhanji will not take it to heart at this stage, Wang Xian is still reminded by Wu Wei to avoid this from now on.
.
Wu Wei, Erhei, Zhou Yong, Xianyun and others all went on the road with him. Gu Xiaolian, the White Lotus Saint, had to stay because she needed to use her influence to appease the believers... During the evaluation
After the rebellion, the resettlement of the White Lotus cultists became the biggest problem, and I believe the process will never be so pleasant. At this time, the saint's comfort is indispensable.
When Wang Xian left, Gu Xiaolian gave him one ride after another, full of attachment and reluctance. She was very conflicted. She wanted to return to Beijing with Wang Xian very much, but she also shouldered a heavy responsibility.
I couldn’t open it, so I had to follow Wang Xian’s arrangement and stay for the time being...
"Don't be sad," Wang Xian took off his gloves, touched her cold face, and comforted her softly: "When we meet again, you will no longer be the White Lotus Saint. Let's live our little lives in peace."
"Yes." Gu Xiaolian said with tears streaming down her face: "Guardian, please take care. If you ruined the King of Han's good deeds this time, they will definitely come back with revenge after returning to the capital."
"Let them come here." Wang Xian said with a nasty smile: "I am their nemesis."
"Don't be careless..."
"I got it." Wang Xian hugged the beauty and placed a deep kiss on her lips. Then he got on his horse, waved to Gu Xiaolian, and walked away surrounded by a group of guards and brothers.
Gu Xiaolian stood on the hillside, watching Wang Xian disappear at the end of the snowfield, then took a deep breath and turned back to Guangling County.
Not long after she left, a person emerged silently from the snow-covered grass beside the road. It was Wei Wuque who was fighting outside Guangling City the day before yesterday. He originally wanted to see Liu Zijin rebelling, but unexpectedly he witnessed it.
The scene where Wang Xian showed off his domineering attitude almost made him burst into anger. However, he also completely understood that Wang Xian was the devil in his life. If he didn't get rid of this guy, he would be destined to accomplish nothing.
What he regrets most now is that he did not kill Wang Xian when he returned to Guangling with him. Such a good opportunity will never come again. If he wants to get rid of Wang Xian, he can only make careful arrangements and wait for a blow.
It was time to kill... He came here today to see if there was a chance to tie up Gu Xiaolian, but seeing that she was heavily guarded, there was no opportunity to take advantage of her, so he gave up the idea.
‘Beijing City,’ Wei Wuque pondered in the snow for a long time before his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, “It seems like there’s going to be a good show going on.” Now he finally had a goal. He identified the direction and headed south...
This time Wang Xian went south from Pingxingguan, the distance was greatly shortened, and the journey was smooth, and he arrived in Taiyuan in only two days.
As soon as he returned to Taiyuan City, he went straight to the Jin Palace to bid farewell to His Highness King Jin. In fact, it didn't matter if Wang Xian didn't come to say goodbye, but if he didn't do some things, his heart would always be uneasy...
Zhu Jiyan held a banquet to see him off at the Zhaixing Tower. I don’t know whether it was because the Jin King lived a simple life or was in mourning. The dishes were very simple, nothing more than sweet and sour fish, pot-roasted mutton, baked eggs in iron bowls, and shredded yam.
Such common Shanxi dishes... But the old eunuch Liang who was holding a cup on the side told Wang Xian that the King of Jin was used to being quiet, and this was the first time he invited someone to dinner after he became the prince.
Wang Xian laughed when he heard this and said, "I am really flattered by this official."
"I don't even want to pretend to be flattered anymore," King Jin said with a smile, "It seems that you have nothing to ask me for."
"In the future, there will be many places where the prince is overworked." Wang Xian shook his head and said.
"You'd better try not to trouble me too much." King Jin waved his hand and said, "You've gone too far this time. Although I can deal with it, it's impossible not to doubt me. You can't do it again and again." He laughed at himself.
He smiled and said: "Actually, Gu's worries are unfounded. After you return to Beijing, the mountains are high and the rivers are long. How can you need Gu Wang again?"
Wang Xian was a little surprised, why did Zhu Jiyan seem to have changed people? Although he was not attracted at first, he was like a dragon spring in its sheath, but now he turned into a dusty fire stick? But as King Jin said
, in the future we will all live apart, no matter what kind of bird he becomes.
After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Zhu Jiyan saw him pick up the wine glass and put it down several times. He thought to himself that once this kid was bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of well ropes for ten years. He smiled and exchanged the wine cups between the two of them, putting his
After finishing the cup, he said, "This time has passed, and the other time has passed. I am still very willing to make friends with you."
"That's my honor." Wang Xian smiled faintly, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip, saying: "It's better to inform the prince about something. Then Liu Zijin..."
"Is it in the grandson's hands now?" This is not a secret, Zhu Jiyan naturally knows it.
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded and said softly: "But don't worry, Your Majesty, he will definitely not talk nonsense.
"If he is escorted to Beijing and interrogated by the three courts, will he still be so sure?" Eunuch Liang quietly interjected and asked.
"He won't come to Beijing..." Wang Xian said with a smile: "If the prince can't trust my character, how can he not trust the prince?"
"I can believe it, haha." Zhu Jiyan laughed and said: "If, I mean if, if Zhongde has no choice in the future, remember that King Gu's door is always open for you." He waved his hand and said:
"Of course, this day is unlikely to happen."
"One day, I will definitely come to join the prince." After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Wang Xian put down his chopsticks, picked up a white handkerchief and wiped his mouth, saying: "Thank you for your hospitality, I will take my leave."
"Have a nice trip, I won't send you off anymore." King Jin nodded and asked the old eunuch to send Wang Xian downstairs.
