Wang Yuan had just finished breakfast when he learned that Jiang Bin had sent his personal entourage to pay him a visit.
The attendant was also a rough guy, but he behaved politely and spoke clearly. He cupped his fists and saluted Wang Yuan and said: "My general has admired Scholar Wang for a long time and has never had the chance to visit him. When I saw him yesterday, he admired him even more. He is the king."
I am intimidated by the scholar's demeanor, and I wish I could work with you on the battlefield to kill all the bandits in the world!"
"Where, where?" Wang Yuan didn't know what the other party wanted to do, so he just smiled, "Jiang Guerrilla is so brave and courageous that he dares to attack the tiger. It's really admirable."
The person who ordered him carried a wooden box, opened the lid and said, "A small gift is not a sign of respect."
Wang Yuan took a casual glance and saw that it was full of silver ingots. Judging from the size of this wooden box, there were probably hundreds of taels in it. Jiang Bin was such a big handiwork!
Showing courtesy for nothing is a traitor or a thief, not to mention that he almost killed Jiang Bin yesterday. Wang Yuan suddenly became more vigilant and listed Jiang Bin as a dangerous person, and he must be strictly vigilant in the future.
This man is so evil that he coaxed the emperor into a corner in a short period of time. Yesterday, he even got a leopard-shaped waist plate, which allows him to freely enter and exit the leopard room as a side general. Even Qian Ning, who was personally recommended, now feels like he is facing a formidable enemy.
, began to think about how to suppress Jiang Bin.
Yesterday, Wang Yuan had no choice. In order to divert the tiger's attention, he had to throw a person out. Including Zhu Houzhao, there were only five people left in the cage at that time. Wang Yuan would not be stupid enough to come forward in person, let alone deal with the money.
If Ning and Li Ying take action, then only Jiang Bin will be left.
What's more, Jiang Bin stuck his butt out and was about to pounce, and he was just a few steps in front of Wang Yuan. Even though he had already set his posture, Wang Yuan didn't lift his foot to kick him, and he felt really guilty.
If you offend me, just offend me. At this special moment, there is no extra choice.
The tiger was probably a Siberian tiger. It was so big that it was frightening. It broke Jiang Bin's arm with one claw. Wang Yuan was too conceited to fight against ten thousand enemies.
As for using weapons to kill tigers? Haha.
It is hard to say whether it can break through the defense. Even if the tiger is shot in the eye with a crossbow, it is impossible to kill it on the spot. The injured tiger is even more ferocious. It is even possible for Zhu Houzhao to be shot to death if he attacks indiscriminately.
Inadvertently, Wang Yuan looked greedy for money and said to the attendant with a smile: "Since Jiang Youyi has good intentions, I will not be respectful. Go back and tell Jiang Youyi that yesterday was all a misunderstanding. The situation was critical at that time and you had no choice but to do so."
For this reason, I hope Jiang Guerbia will not take it to heart. He and I are both close ministers of His Majesty, a civil servant and a military general. There is no conflict and we should help each other hand in hand. From now on, when I am in court and he is away, we can help each other.
Rely on it!"
He left the money with him and left immediately.
Returning to the temporary military camp ten miles south of the city, he personally met Wang Yuan and told his story in detail.
Jiang Bin asked: "Did he really just accept the money?"
The follower replied: "I accepted it and pretended not to care."
Jiang Bin sarcastically said: "Hey, let me tell you, how can any civil servant not be greedy for money? This Bachelor Wang really knows how to put on an act."
The attendant then repeated Wang Yuan's words.
Jiang Bin even laughed with joy and said to his attendant: "Thank you for your hard work, please leave."
Wang Yuan's intention was very clear. He wanted to learn from Yang Tinghe and secretly make friends with military generals as a civil servant. From now on, Wang Yuan would be Jiang Bin's support in the court, and Jiang Bin would help Wang Yuan make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. This is a set of rules.
The customary cooperation model between civil and military officials.
If he had been another general, he would have been so happy that he would have forgotten all about such trivial matters as kicking the butt to feed the tiger.
But Jiang Bin has greater ambitions. He wants to stay in the Leopard Room as a border general and prosper! Not only does he want to stay, he also wants to keep the army, and he even wants to send the army to the Leopard Room together.
Is it whimsical?
Historically, Jiang Bin did it! Not only that, he also made Qian Ning lose power.
At this moment, Jiang Bin felt the "goodwill" expressed by Wang Yuan, and he put aside the "little" grudges. Wang Yuan was the number one scholar and a famous general. He couldn't do anything for the time being, so why not make friends with him and reap the benefits? The top priority was,
The purpose is to discredit Qian Ning and attract more generals to work for the emperor.
The civil servant was so awesome that Jiang Bin hated Wang Yuan so much that he did not dare to retaliate. Instead, he targeted Qian Ning.
For the next half month, Jiang Bin went in and out of the Leopard Room every day, hanging his severed arm and talking about war with the emperor.
Although this guy doesn't have any famous achievements, he is still a fierce person. When fighting with thieves in Nanzhili, he was shot by three arrows in a row. One of the arrows entered from the face and came out from the ear. He pulled it out.
The arrows continued to fight.
It was precisely because of the arrow wound on his face that Zhu Houzhao paid special attention to Jiang Bin and recognized Jiang Bin as brave and good at fighting.
Li Ying came out of the palace one day and complained bitterly to Wang Yuan: "Ruoxu, this Jiang Bin is so powerful. He has only met Your Majesty for a few days, but he actually eats and sleeps with Your Majesty every day. Until now, His Majesty has not
After watching the game, he didn’t pay much attention to me. Even Commander Zhu (Qian Ning) is rarely summoned by His Majesty, but now His Majesty only favors Jiang Bin!"
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty likes to talk about military affairs, and Jiang Bin is a border general. He deliberately goes to his liking, so naturally he will be favored by you."
Li Ying complained: "This man was promoted too quickly. He is a small guerrilla who only talks about military affairs with His Majesty every day, but he actually directs his affairs even after his promotion!"
In the Ming Dynasty, guerrilla generals only held military positions and did not have fixed grades. Jiang Bin's real official position before was that of a fourth-rank official, commanding general affairs, which was equivalent to spending half a month with the emperor talking about military affairs, and then being directly promoted by two ranks to a third-rank official.
It was all caused by Qian Ning. He coveted the money donated by Jiang Bin and took the initiative to bring him to see the emperor. Now he has made himself fall out of favor day by day.
Li Ying said: "Ruoxu, you also know the military, why don't you talk more about military matters with your Majesty?"
Wang Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "If I talk about military affairs, I will only ask your Majesty to rectify the internal affairs first, and then deepen the reform of the Ming Dynasty's military system. These things are too troublesome, and your Majesty does not like to hear them. He only likes to hear Jiang Bin's quick success methods."
"Then what should we do?" Li asked urgently.
"Why are you panicking?" Wang Yuan asked.
Li Ying said worriedly: "You don't know, Jiang Bin is too independent. He keeps making slanderous lies, saying that the Leopard Room has been controlled by Commander Zhu (Qian Ning), making His Majesty very wary of Commander Zhu. Even our close ministers are worried."
Deliberately alienated.”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Isn't Qian Ning in charge of the Jin Yiwei? Go and collect evidence that Qian Ning killed Liang Liang and took credit for his crimes. No matter whether there is any evidence, we can definitely find it and let the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology impeach him."
"I'm afraid it will be counterproductive." Li Ying has already figured out Zhu Houzhao's character. This emperor is very rebellious. The more he is impeached by the officials, the more Jiang Bin will be trusted.
Wang Yuan spread his hands and said, "Then there's nothing I can do."
Even if Wang Yuan had a way, he wouldn't be able to come up with it at this time.
Zhu Houzhao likes novelty, both with people and things. Jiang Bin is the most favored at this moment. Anyone who touches Jiang Bin will be stepping on Zhu Houzhao's tail, a bit like snatching Zhu Houzhao's new toy.
Moreover, Wang Yuan finally remembered who Jiang Bin was, the guy who encouraged Zhu Houzhao to flee the capital and quietly go to the border to fight with the little Mongolian prince!
Don't you like to instigate the emperor to conquer personally? I will trick you to death on the battlefield!
As soon as Li Ying was sent away, a servant came to report: "Master, there are four Imperial College students outside who want to see you."
One of these Imperial College students is named Xi Chun and the other is Xi Tuan. They are both brothers of Wang Yuan’s tutor Xi Shu. They are all currently studying in the Imperial College in Beijing.
There is also Xiao Mingfeng, a native of Shanyin, Zhejiang, who is Wang Yangming’s new disciple.
The other one was named Xu Jingsong, a native of Liaodong, who came from a family of border generals.
Wang Yuan's "Mathematics", "Geometry" and "Physics" had unknowingly spread to the Imperial College, and these four people came to seek instruction.
Who passed it on?
There was an Imperial College Supervisor named Fang Kai, who came from a Yin-Yang family. Both his father and grandfather served in the Qin Tian Prison. He did not study Yin-Yang skills well, but he actually studied the Four Books and Five Classics hard, and was admitted to the Imperial College to become a Supervisor - Yin-Yang House.
It is not a lowly status, the eldest son and the second son must learn the art of yin and yang, and the other heirs can choose to do other things, including studying and taking the imperial examination.
Thanks to Fang Kai's spread, a small group of more than ten people has formed in the Imperial College in Beijing. Just like Yang Shen formed a literary club back then, they also formed a "Physics Club" in the Imperial College, and they gathered together during holidays to study related topics.
knowledge.
Xi Chun, Xi Tuan, Xiao Mingfeng and Xu Jingsong came to seek advice and were warmly received by Wang Yuan.
Subsequently, more and more members of the "Physics Club" of the Imperial College in Beijing came to study, and the Wang family mansion simply became their club activity base.
When Jiang Bin was favored, he also pulled Xu Tai and other generals into the leopard room, and his power became more and more powerful. And Wang Yuan had the blood of Imperial College students injected into him, and the strength of the academic group also increased day by day. By the cotton harvest season, it was already thirty years old.
Many people!
One is by the emperor's side, attracting the attention of everyone and receiving much criticism.
One is outside the court, no one pays attention to it, and develops silently.
Once the former loses power, they will be attacked by a group of people; once the latter gains power, it will become popular all over the world.
