After talking about business, the prince stayed with Wang Xian for lunch. However, in order to avoid suspicion, the lunch time was moved up half an hour. Since Wang Xian was already here, there was no need to worry about this and that, so he followed the prince to meet with the prince first.
Concubine Zhang and Empress Zhang were already very familiar with Wang Xian's family, so they were naturally very affectionate towards Wang Xian and warmly welcomed him to the table.
The lunch was naturally very sumptuous, and it was an authentic family banquet. Not only was the Crown Princess present, but Zhu Zhan and several older brothers were also accompanying him. During the dinner, the Crown Princess kept asking people to give Wang Xian a meal.
Cai, whose appearance as a kind elder was beyond words, naturally asked about Wang Xian's personal situation, and Wang Xian answered them all.
"That's right." Zhang Niangniang suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "Your Mongolian princess is probably going to give birth, right?"
"..." Wang Xian couldn't help but feel ashamed. He didn't expect that the princess would know such a thing even if she didn't go out.
"Haha, you kid, do you think this is happening without anyone noticing?" The princess smiled and said, "Although it is inconvenient for me to go out, my aunt often comes to visit me."
The aunt the Crown Princess refers to is naturally the beautiful Xu Miaojin. Although the Crown Princess is a bit older than Xu Miaojin, but her real seniority is there, this aunt is naturally called her. Of course, Xu Miaojin will not gossip like this, she should be
I heard it from Zheng Xiuer...
"It should be the end of next month." Wang Xian said sadly.
"After all, it's your first child. It's really unjustifiable if you weren't around during the pregnancy and were absent during the delivery." The Crown Princess frowned slightly and said: "Besides, Qing'er is not a jealous person, so you'd better go there.
.”
"Yes, you should go there." The prince, who had been listening to their conversation with a smile, also said: "A woman has to go through hell when she gives birth to a child. You'd better go and take care of her. You can't leave any regrets."
"I really want to go." Wang Xian was really moved in his heart. It is no exaggeration to say that he is now the prince's great protector. The prince relies on him to protect him from wind and rain, but he can take the initiative to give him a holiday. This heavy care can indeed
It made people feel sincere. But the more this happened, the more Wang Xian didn't know how to speak. "It's just that Hetao is more than two thousand miles away from the capital. This trip takes time and money, and I really can't leave."
"There's nothing you can't leave. You've sorted it out over at the Zhenfu Division, and Yan Qing is keeping an eye on it for you. It doesn't matter if you leave for a while." The prince said decisively: "And the King of Han is still recovering from his injuries. As for Ji Gang, what do you think?
It's not that easy to deal with us. Don't forget that Gu is the prince of the prison country. It would be good if you don't deal with him."
"Your Highness..." If a person is domineering all day long, it is normal to say this. But the prince, who shows weakness all day long, suddenly reveals his majesty, which is shocking. At that moment, Wang Xian suddenly
Realizing that Zhu Gaochi's fat, sickly body actually contained quite terrifying power.
"Okay, don't be mentally burdened." The prince waved his hand and made up his mind: "Ji Gang is still carrying a case on his back. I believe he will calm down for a while. You also happen to go see Baoyin, I'm here for you.
Is two months’ leave enough?”
"Too many..." Wang Xian had originally wanted to ask for leave, but now that the prince had taken the initiative to say it, he stopped being pretentious, "One month is enough."
"It's better to have more time." The prince smiled and said: "Don't rush back after the child is born. Again, stay with them more and don't leave any regrets."
"Yes, Your Highness..." Wang Xian nodded heavily with emotion.
"In addition, we have prepared a gift for the child. I will send someone to send it to your home later. I will take it with you when the time comes. It can be regarded as a little thought from me as a grandfather." The prince smiled and said: "You can also tell
Baoyin, sooner or later I will help you give her a status, and you won't let her keep being secretive like this."
"Thank you, Your Highness..." Besides thanking him, what else could Wang Xian say.
"Well, the whole family doesn't talk to each other, and I don't even thank you, but you keep thanking me. Isn't this ridiculous?" the prince said with a smile.
"Yes, that is what His Highness taught you." Wang Xian accepted the instruction.
"Besides, Zhan Ji is still in Shanxi. When you pass by Taiyuan, you two brothers can still see each other." When he mentioned his son in Shanxi, the prince showed concern for him. The young army has been promoted to the vanguard of the government army and is just waiting to return to Beijing.
After receiving the commission from the reorganization, it was said that Taisun should be able to return to Beijing in triumph, but he still has not said that he will come back, which seems to mean that the settlement of the surrendered White Lotus cultists in Shanxi has encountered a lot of trouble. "Look at what happened to him.
If there is any difficulty, I will help him with advice."
"Yes." Wang Xian responded: "This is natural."
After the meal, the prince dragged Wang Xian with his heavy body to the front yard. The princess told him to pay attention to safety on the way before reluctantly letting him go.
Returning to the Yamen, Wang Xian summoned all his subordinates and Yan Qing to the holding room for a meeting and told them that he would be away from Beijing for a while.
Most of the subordinates knew about Baoyin, so they laughed and said, "Sir, you are really passionate."
"Fuck you," Wang Xian rolled his eyes and said, "I actually went to see my grandson. He seems to have encountered some trouble there. I just stopped by the Hetao. Do you understand..."
"Oh, I understand." Everyone responded with strange sounds, which made Wang Xian very embarrassed.
"Hahahahaha" everyone laughed, that's all, but they all said seriously: "Sir, just go ahead, what is the purpose of being an official? Isn't it just to have a wife and a shadow? If my wife can't be around even when she gives birth, then what's the point?"
What’s the point of being an official?”
"Thank you brothers..." Wang Xian was really touched today. Although he has countless enemies, he also has a group of brothers who always think about him. At this point in his life, what more can I ask for? "Then I will leave it to you during this period.
"Sir, don't worry, brothers are not vegetarians." Erhei patted his chest and said: "Our Beizhen Fusi is already impenetrable and monolithic, and now we have the crown prince protecting us. If Ji Gang wants to force it, he must do it."
It’s impossible to chip his teeth.”
"Don't just think about having the crown prince to protect you, but also protect the crown prince with all your heart." Yan Qing said a little unconvincingly: "Now that the emperor has left the capital, your Excellency has also left the capital. It is impossible for the King of Han and Ji Gang to miss this opportunity to cause trouble.
Yes, if we just want to maintain our status, we will play into the enemy's hands..."
"Old Yan, you just love to spoil the fun..." Erhei couldn't help but muttered. After Yan Qing came, he was always gloomy and ignored everyone, as if everyone owed him eight hundred coins. They
People say privately that this guy is the Judge Cui in the Palace of Hell that he created, so they all call him Judge Yan behind his back.
"Er Hei is wrong, Mr. Yan is right." Wang Xian said sternly: "Actually, I am still very conflicted about whether I should leave the capital or not, just because Mr. Yan said it and I am worried that the King of Han and Ji Gang will stir up trouble.
.If you are satisfied with just ensuring that nothing happens to you, then I would not dare to take this trip."
"Sir..." Everyone understood what Wang Xian meant. He asked them to take the initiative to contain the energy of Ji Gang and even the King of Han, and reduce the pressure on the prince. This idea is good, but is Ji Gang something they can deal with? If he steals
Instead of losing the rice, you have lost all your positions. How can you explain to the adults?
Everyone looked at each other for a while, and there was no sound in the signing room. This was not because they were belittling themselves, but because they were self-aware. Wu Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, you are right, but we don't have your ability. We are afraid that we will not be able to defeat Ji Gang, but will be defeated instead."
He took care of his old nest."
"This is a problem, but I know there is someone who can beat him..." Wang Xian said slowly: "But you must promise to resolutely obey his orders."
"Who?" Shuai Hui asked blankly: "If he is really that capable, of course we will obey him."
Although everyone knew who Wang Xian was talking about, they had no choice but to agree with Shuai Hui when he said it.
"Okay, this is what you said. Do you dare to issue a military order and promise to listen to him?" Wang Xian said in a deep voice.
"Dare you..." The words have reached this point, what else can anyone say?
"Okay." Wang Xian actually asked everyone to issue a military order on the spot, then pushed Yan Qing out and said: "Everyone pays homage to Mr. Yan."
"Ah, it's him..." Shuai Hui immediately opened his mouth and looked around, only to realize that everyone was looking at him with murderous eyes. They really disliked this lame man who always had a sullen face, but now this lame man wanted to lead them.
How could they not be annoyed? They glared at Shuai Hui fiercely, and everyone could only salute Yan Qing sparsely. They said feebly and unevenly: "I've seen Mr...."
Yan Qing just sat in Kongming's car with an expressionless face, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
But Wang Xian lowered his face and shouted: "Is this the military order you issued? Or do you think you can get away with it?"
Seeing that the master was really angry, everyone had to correct their attitude and salute Yan Qing again. This time the voice was much neater: "Greetings, sir..."
"Don't call me sir, I'm a cripple and I can't bear it." Yan Qing said calmly: "You should call me Judge Yan."
"..." Seeing that the nickname he had given him in private was known to me, everyone was immediately embarrassed.
"What Judge Yan?" Wang Xian was stunned for a moment, then understood and scolded sternly: "Listen carefully, Mr. Yan is my senior brother, and I treat him like my brother. If you are right
If he is disrespectful, he is disrespectful to my brother, and the brotherly love between me is completely false."
Hearing that Wang Xian's tone became more severe, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly slapped themselves in the mouth and said: "Mr. Yan, sir, we don't dare to do it anymore."
"Humph, sir, you don't have to worry about who they are. As long as they dare to disobey your orders, they will be dealt with according to military law." Wang Xian turned to Yan Qing and bowed deeply: "Please sir."
"Oh, sir, you really rushed the duck..." Yan Qing is a civil servant at heart, and now he is surrounded by a group of warriors, so he naturally doesn't have a good look towards them, but Wang Xian is the one who rescued him from the sea of suffering, and he is also half a civil servant.
, he still respects Wang Xian very much. If Wang Xian had just handed over this burden to him without consultation, he would definitely not be happy and would not acquiesce like this.
"I know that you don't want to take charge of Beizhen Fusi, but the matter is so important that I can only entrust it to you," Wang Xian said sincerely.
"Oh, then student, please do your best..." Yan Qing had no choice but to take over this burden.
After the meeting ended, Wang Xian left only Yan Qing alone, clasping his fists apologetically and saying, "I cut it off first without consulting you sir beforehand. I'm really sorry."
"It doesn't matter. Since I have agreed to it, I will obey your arrangements before Ji Gang's downfall." Yan Qing smiled and said, "Besides, I should be grateful for your trust and respect for me."
"Sir, you are serious." Wang Xian smiled and suddenly said softly: "The verdict of the case has been made."
"I know." Yan Qing's reaction was very calm, not surprising at all.
"How do you know, sir?" Wang Xian was stunned.
"How could you put such a heavy responsibility on the shoulders of a sinner?" Yan Qing said calmly: "That would not only make our own people unconvinced, but it would also give Ji Gang a handle against us."
"Haha, I can't hide anything from you sir." Wang Xian laughed a few times, and then sighed: "The verdict is not satisfactory. The murderer ransacked his home to pay for his life, and all the proceeds from the ransacking were given to the people who were exiled for testifying. Mr. Liu Shangshu Wang
"Xian and the others were also reinstated." He paused and said, "It's just that Ji Gang was only lightly punished, and Mr. Xian also received a considerable amount of compensation..."
"What's the use of my compensation?" Yan Qing had already been psychologically prepared for this outcome, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Is it possible that I will use it to live out my remaining days?"
"Sir, why did you say this?" Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "Your value lies in your wisdom, which has nothing to do with whether you are standing or sitting. Unless you feel that life is meaningful only when you are an official.
.”
"Haha, you are teaching me a lesson! It's..." Wang Xian's persuasion was quite clever. Yan Qing felt warm after hearing this and said, "You can still do valuable things without being an official."
"Yes." Although Wang Xian wanted to say, "Yes, yes, helping me is very valuable." But he knew that if he tried to solicit words at this time, he would probably break up. Besides, he was already very satisfied with the progress, so naturally
He just clicked and said: "Let us do something for the country and the people together."
Although Yan Qing heard what he meant, he only smiled slightly and said: "As ordered."
The two talked for a while about the errand arrangements after Wang Xian left. Yan Qing was a capable official, so naturally he didn't need him. After a while, he explained clearly. Yan Qing said again: "My lord, I am going to Shanxi. Grandson
I have heard about the matter over there. If it is to be solved properly, the person who untied the bell may have to tie the bell..."
"Hey, just say that I caused trouble and I'll solve it." Wang Xian chuckled and said with a gradually bitter smile: "You blame me too. At the beginning, you were just trying to quell the chaos as soon as possible, but you didn't consider that there would be so many sequelae."
"The reason why the people are in chaos is not because of the White Lotus Sect's deception, but because they can't live anymore. If we don't solve this problem, there will still be problems in the future." Yan Qing said seriously: "If you can't find a way out for them, there will be problems in the future.
There will indeed be endless troubles.”
"I know, I know." Wang Xian nodded slowly, with a look of confusion on his face.
