"A rare visitor, a rare visitor. Brother Cheng and Brother Qin have come from afar. If you are disappointed, you will be greeted from afar!"
In the garden living room, Wang Jing stepped in, bowed his hands to the two young men with extraordinary magnanimity who had already met him, and sat down naturally on the main seat. Top 23S.
Fastest update
The maid who followed closely served him with fragrant tea and stood by her side, looking at him with curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes.
If Wu Ming were here, he would definitely recognize that one of them was Qin Songzhi who had attacked him before!
As for the other person, his magnanimity is not inferior to that of the previous generation's genius, and he is also extremely young. He is obviously at the same level.
“I haven’t seen you in five years, but Brother Wang is still as charming as ever!”
Qin Song's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of caution between his brows.
"Brother Wang has been cultivating himself in the border town all year round, and his cultivation has become even more exquisite. This is indeed a gratifying thing. I wonder why he suddenly returned to the capital?"
The young man in a brocade Confucian robe gently shook his feather fan and asked casually.
"One of you is in the south and the other is in the west. Didn't you come to the capital as well?"
Wang Jing did not answer the question, but the implication behind his words was rather rude, as if he was saying, "You two are here, why can't I come?"
"Haha, Brother Wang is as honest as ever. Brother Jing Yu is also out of curiosity. After all, you and I haven't seen each other for many years. We should get together when we come to Beijing this time."
Qin Songzhi smiled lightly.
Combining the words of the two people, it is not difficult to tell that this young man in golden Confucian robes is the former genius of Songyang Academy - Cheng Jingyu!
"Speaking of which, you and I are both students of Songyang Academy. Knowing that you are in Beijing, Songzhi and I came here to invite you to attend the cultural gathering on the second day of next month!"
Cheng Jingyu smiled nonchalantly.
"On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, which is a good day for spring outings and gatherings."
Wang Jing raised his eyebrows slightly.
"So, Brother Wang agreed!"
The Way of Qin Song.
"This is a gathering for my classmates. Brother Wang was also a famous figure in the academy back then. I don't know how many students admire him. If he doesn't go, I'm afraid he will let them down."
Cheng Jingyu said in an aggressive tone, neither soft nor hard.
"You two have been kindly invited, but if you don't go, won't you be in trouble?"
Wang Jing seemed to have not heard it, and said calmly and calmly.
"Okay, in that case, I'll wait patiently for Brother Wang!"
Having achieved their goal, the two of them didn't stay much and left directly.
"Master, I have a lot to say. Although the two young masters have extraordinary bearings, their words seem...as if..."
The maid wanted to speak but hesitated.
"It seems like you are tit-for-tat with me?"
Wang Jing nodded nonchalantly, looked at the empty lobby, and said with deep eyes, "I intervened this time, and it has already caught people's attention. People came to the door, and instead of questioning harshly, they invited me to participate in the cultural conference. This is already considered a formality.
Quite elegant!"
Hearing this, the maid opened her mouth, but finally sighed and said nothing.
…
Bang!
The next morning, the rapid and harsh sound of gongs sounded throughout the streets of Nanwai City. After hearing the news, countless people came, whispering to each other to find out what happened.
On a tall shadow-backed wall, officers wearing red and gray backgrounds posted notices one after another and hurried to the next place.
The literate people crowded inside and read aloud, causing waves of exclamation.
It turned out that there had been a lot of commotion before, the Liu and Zhang family complained about their son's traffic stop, and the government issued a formal notice.
What was supposed to be a final decision took a dramatic turn.
Zhao Lu, the commander of the guards of the Zhao Mansion, raped a maid. The incident was exposed, and he framed the guard Liu Tiegen. Now it has been found out by the government. When he was arrested and brought to justice, he resisted stubbornly and was executed on the spot!
"The sky has eyes. Let me tell you, Liu Tiegen is such an honest person, how could he commit crimes?"
"Hmph, why does the sky have eyes? If Aunt Liu hadn't risked her life, and if the young prince hadn't protected her, how could the injustice be redressed?"
"This is exactly the reason. Now that the young prince has grown up and has truly become a prince, we will be blessed to have him speak for us common people!"
"Haha, yes, yes, the young prince will inherit the throne. I think it would be better to change his name to King Xian!"
For a time, the people rushed to tell each other, and the whole world was celebrating.
However, they will never know the transactions in the dark.
Liu Tiegen's father-in-law took Zhao Lu's money and encouraged Liu Zhang to go to Wu Ming to complain, thereby forcing Wu Ming to intervene in the case of the Ministry of Justice in vain, giving the people behind the plot a reason to delay or even deprive Wu Ming of his inheritance rights.
What's more, the Legalists were vaguely aware of this and secretly sent out many people to stop the rest of the people who complained about injustice. This was considered to have broken the arm of the person who secretly arranged the plot, and also made Wu Ming owe a favor.
Otherwise, it would never be so easy.
And in the Zhao Mansion, the real master who killed the maid Liu Tiegen, Zhao Kaitai, also poured all the dirty water on the dead man Zhao Lu because of the deal between Wu Ming and Zhao Yunlai!
No one knew that in order to deal with this arrangement, Wu Ming used almost all available forces and expended countless energy.
While countless people in Nancheng were celebrating, a major event happened in the morning of the next day, which shocked both the government and the public.
Zhao Yunlai, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, wrote to the court that Wu Ming, the crown prince of King Wu, was young and determined. Even though he had been a hostage in Beijin for five years, he never forgot the country's origins and always considered the people. He first eliminated the bandits in Luolianmen Fushou Cave.
Later, the Zhenwu Martial Arts School benefited one party.
In this way, you should be a role model for young people. If you have grown up, you should inherit the throne and continue the legacy of the old King Wu!
Before Manchao Wenwu could come to his senses, he even took out a copy of the Ten Thousand People's Table and went straight to Tianting!
In this way, it was nothing more than a slap in the face to the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had previously rejected Wu Ming's petition, and the sound was loud.
Not only that, even officials from the Ministry of Punishment came out to reconsider the matter. Although it was not stated explicitly, whoever is an official in the government is not a human being, and they have already figured out a little bit of different feelings from what happened yesterday.
The most bizarre thing is that even Zhou Minqing, the Minister of Rites, also reconsidered the decision.
Before the dispute over this matter could come to a conclusion, Zhao Yunlai actually resigned in court. The reason was that he was lax in running the family, and the guard commander in the mansion wasted no time on human life, almost causing innocent people to be wronged!
All these factors forced Emperor Zhao Zhao Yukun to almost be unable to get off the stage, so he had no choice but to press the button and wait for further discussion before hastily withdrawing from the court.
No one expected that Mr. Zhao Yunlai, who had just had his door smashed by Wu Ming but was the first to report, thanked guests behind closed doors and started to sell the properties in Beijing. Without waiting for the court's order, he began to make arrangements for his resignation.
All matters!
…
"Master, this is what happened this morning!"
In the Ciyun Garden of Prince Wu's Mansion, Hong Lian read through the files in his hand one by one.
"This Mr. Zhao is quite a trustworthy person. It seems that if there is an opportunity in the future, I can't say he will have more contact with you!"
Wu Ming took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Hearing this, Honglian couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Not to mention smashing the door of the house, most of the guards in the mansion were seriously injured. Scholars like Zhao Yunlai understood the key and did not fall out. Afterwards, they agreed to write a letter to the court, which was regarded as repaying the favor of saving his son.
"Master, would you like to prepare a gift for Mr. Zhou and Mr. Sang to express your gratitude?"
Honglian Road.
"No, this kind of favor does not require any gifts, so as not to cause people to say that I bribed the court ministers, I will just repay you when I have the opportunity in the future."
Wu Ming somewhat understood Sang Qingyun from the Ministry of Punishment coming forward to reconsider. After all, he was a direct descendant of the Sang family, but Zhou Minqing really surprised him.
Seriously speaking, it was just a one-time relationship. Even his son Zhou Ziyan had also met him once.
In terms of friendship, there is no respect at all. In terms of status and background, both father and son are Confucian heroes. Logically speaking, they should not help each other.
"The young master is very considerate. Speaking of which, Mr. Zhou is really an upright and good official!"
Honglian praised.
"hehe!"
Wu Ming chuckled and nodded, but he didn't agree in his heart.
Being upright really doesn't count, otherwise, he would never be able to stand in the court. Maybe it was out of pure good intentions, maybe he had other purposes, but in any case, he didn't care much, and he would just return the favor if he had the opportunity in the future.
"My young prince, Eunuch Mu is here to visit and is waiting in the front hall!"
At this moment, Sun Shanwu came to report.
"Oh, the imperial court's response this time was not slow. It seems that the deterrent effect of Wanminbiao is indeed not small."
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised.
"The deterrent power of Wanminbiao is not small. I think the methods arranged by the young master are powerful. Just one unfounded rumor is worth thousands of troops!"
Honglian complimented.
"hehe!"
Wu Ming waved his hand, smiled noncommittally, and walked towards the front yard.
"Your Majesty!"
Mu Chun still didn't change much, but his complexion was far worse than before. Bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes that were originally reserved. When he saw Wu Ming, he stood up and said.
"Eunuch Mu, please sit down. I don't know why I bother you to make a trip again?"
Wu Mingxu bowed his head.
Hearing this, Mu Chun twitched the corner of his mouth, recalling the previous visits, each time was different, and finally evolved into the current situation.
"We are here to convey the imperial decree. Your petition has been approved. Once a good and auspicious day is chosen, the imperial conferment ceremony can be held to inherit the title of King Wu!"
But the matter had reached this point, and he couldn't allow him to think too much, so he said it bluntly.
"The date has not been chosen?"
Wu Ming was not surprised, but rather puzzled by this.
Since everything has been passed and there is no reason for delay, what is going on?
"To be honest, Your Majesty, the court has been busy with chores recently. On the second day of next month, the Spring Plowing Ceremony will be held, and there will also be a large auction to be held in the near future. The former can be said to be held every year, but the latter has to prepare many venues and arrange for guests.
After all, the visitors are all important people from various countries, and even foreigners."
After Mu Chun finished speaking, he looked at Wu Ming. The implication was that he was too busy recently, so you should put this aside a little bit.
Anger flashed in Honglian's eyes, and she was about to speak.
"Eunuch Mu, I think the second day of next month will be good. The court will hold the Spring Plowing Ceremony not far from the altar where the imperial seal is located.
My prince has never liked extravagance and waste, and there is no need for ostentation. Keeping everything simple will save people and money!"
Wu Ming glanced at Mu Chun lightly, then picked up the tea cup and took a casual sip of tea.
"this……"
Mu Chun's old face stiffened. This was a clear statement that he was forcing a date and could not refuse!
