Chapter 4 The visit of the county magistrate
Now it is no longer a question of whether he should jump, but how he should jump. It is not a good thing for him to still work under King Qin even though he knows that he has ambitions for Qing Ling.
Son.
It’s hard to say that His Highness the King of Qin would still give him small shoes to wear.
This is a kind of preconceived idea, and it is often this kind of preconceived idea that can stay in people's minds the best. It was precisely because he overheard the comments made by several people in Jingling Lake about His Highness the King of Qin that Wang Guanlan felt this way.
King Qin, who was known as the wise king in the court, did not have any good impressions.
"Sir, Magistrate Yao wants to see you!"
"Magistrate Yao?!" A trace of doubt flashed in Wang Guanlan's eyes. This magistrate of Yicheng has never had any sense of existence. He is a person who is very aware of current affairs and understands his position. How could he think of coming to see him today?
Already?
"Invite him in!" Wang Guanlan put down the map in his hand, straightened his clothes, and suddenly said, "Forget it, I'll go and greet him personally!"
Welcoming Yao Yifei into the study, the guests and hosts sat down. After serving tea, they exchanged a few compliments, and then Yao Yifei brought the conversation to the main topic.
"I heard that the Fourteenth Young Master will go to help King Qin soon?!"
"It's not like helping him, but helping myself. Jun Sheng's existence is also a threat to Prince Ning's Mansion!"
"Of course, the remnants of the former Wei Dynasty, after so many years, still want to come out to make trouble, it is simply wishful thinking!" When mentioning the remnants of the former Wei Dynasty, Yao Yifei also looked disdainful. "However, although the King of Qin is known as the wise king, but the son
It’s not easy to get along well with him!”
"How can you say this!" Wang Guanlan's heart moved, and he had some vague guesses about Yao Yifei's origins.
"As far as I know, King Qin is very fond of Miss Qingling. There were even rumors for a while that the Jingling Lake Club would marry His Highness the King of Qin!"
"I know this too!" Wang Guanlan smiled. "I also know that there was a group of people in Jingling Lake who wanted to kill me, but I killed them instead! "What?!" Yao Yifei was stunned for a moment, then understood. "Zhu Zhihua really
You killed me?!"
"It's just a damn idiot. Just kill him!" Wang Guanlan watched Yao Yifei's expression change. "However, Mr. County Lord, there are some things that cannot be said without evidence!"
"Yes, yes, no evidence, no evidence!" Yao Yifei nodded repeatedly, becoming more wary of Wang Guanlan in his heart. He was so scheming at such a young age, so he reminded himself not to beat around the bush in this way. He even destroyed himself.
Having admitted the murder of Zhu Zhihua, it would be extremely insincere if he concealed anything more.
"I feel ashamed to say that although I was born as a Jinshi, I have been practicing for decades, and I could only fill the official vacancy under the arrangement of the teacher. When I came to Yicheng, although I had never accomplished anything, after all, I was a student of the teacher, and I was deeply affected by it.
It’s a great kindness from the teacher. I came here this time because I was entrusted by the teacher to warn the young master that His Highness King Qin may take this opportunity to do harm to the young master!”
"My lord's teacher is...!"
"Shao Dongping, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites!"
"Shao Dongping?!" Wang Guanlan's eyes flashed, and he understood immediately.
Shao Dongping is now the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, but he still has another identity. He is the Tanhuā of Daqi thirty years ago, and he is also the enlightenment teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince. Even now, His Highness the Crown Prince respects this enlightenment teacher very much.
He is always asking for advice. It can be said that he is the signature figure of the prince's faction at that time. It is hard to see that this poor county magistrate actually has such a backer in the court. A guy with such a backer has been the county magistrate in Yicheng for decades.
, either he is really lacking in ability and cannot get past the wall, or he has other agendas, and Wang Guanlan prefers the latter.
"Your Majesty's plan is not small, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Prince Ning's Mansion has always adhered to its own principles since its establishment. I'm afraid your Majesty will not be able to fulfill your wish!"
"I know this well. I have been in Yicheng for so many years. Of course I know how Prince Ning's Mansion does things. But this time I am not here for Prince Ning's Mansion, but for you, young master. A tiger's heart is harmless, but a tiger's intention is to hurt others!
"
"Sir, you are not a qualified lobbyist!" Wang Guanlan laughed and said, "Do you think I will be defenseless?!"
"Young Master has always been very clever in his methods, but His Highness King Qin's methods have also always been very clever!"
Wang Guanlan nodded and waited for him to continue.
"If the hunt for the remnants of the former Wei Dynasty is successful this time, then it will definitely add to the merits of His Highness the King of Qin and gain huge benefits, so...!"
"You want me to collude with the remnants of the former Wei Dynasty?!" Wang Guanlan's eyes flashed and he laughed strangely, "It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is being forced very hard by His Highness the King of Qin!"
"No, no matter how unwise His Highness the Crown Prince is, he will not do such a thing that betrays his ancestors. What we mean is that the remnants of the former Wei Dynasty want to be killed, but His Highness the King of Qin cannot get all the credit!"
"how to say!"
"Actually, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who suggested that the outstanding sons of the noble families of Da Qi should participate in the pursuit!" Yao Yifei said, "The purpose is to let young masters like the young master share the merits of King Qin. But you also know that all the people from all over the Da Qi Dynasty
There are many nobles and nobles, and the interests of all parties are different. Even if the prince gives these disciples the opportunity to perform meritorious service, they may not betray the prince. Even if things are not harmonious and there are casualties, they will turn their anger on the prince!"
"I'm afraid the first person to be angered is His Highness the King of Qin!" Wang Guanlan smiled and said, "I think I understand what you mean. His Highness the Crown Prince means to give this great contribution to me, and I will do it for the Crown Prince in the future.
work?!"
"That's not the case, the young master can't be bribed with such a credit!" Yao Yifei is very self-aware. "Although King Qin seems to have great power on the surface, Tiance Mansion is also full of talents, but His Highness the Crown Prince
It is the orthodoxy of the Da Qi Dynasty, and it also has its own power. Over the years, it is not something that the King of Qin can even compare with!"
"So, your power will help me?!"
"Yes, as long as the young master agrees, His Royal Highness will do his best to help the young master kill Junsheng. This power is by no means smaller than that of Tiance Mansion!"
"What about the conditions?!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the rules of Prince Ning's Mansion. Therefore, he will not force the young master to stand on his side. He only needs the young master to owe him a favor and help him at the critical moment!"
"Show me your strength at the critical moment?!" Wang Guanlan laughed, "His Royal Highness, you really think highly of me!"
"How should I put it? In the final analysis of this matter, His Highness the Crown Prince cannot trust anyone else, only the Young Master, because Miss Qingling is destined to never stand on King Qin's side!"
"I heard that His Highness the King of Qin has a broad mind. He is a rare master of a human being. He should not do anything unwise for the sake of a woman!"
"Humph, he has a broad mind and looks like a master!" Yao Yifei suddenly sneered. "He is just pretending!" At this point, he raised his head and looked at Wang Guanlan. "The prince's purpose this time is to share the credit of His Highness King Qin.
, it would be best if we could take away all the credit from him. Young Master is the most suitable candidate, so I came to you. I don’t know the reason why Young Master is satisfied or not?!"
"Satisfied. Of course I am satisfied!" Wang Guanlan laughed, "Well, now I want to know what kind of help His Highness can give me!"
Yao Yifei took out a ring from his arms, "This is the latest communication ring made by the craftsman. It can transmit information freely within a radius of thousands of miles. When the time comes, our people will use this communication ring to transmit relevant information to the young master.
If you have any needs, you can contact us through this ring!"
"Okay!" Wang Guanlan took the ring and put it directly on his hand. "If I can benefit from Jun Sheng this time, there will be rewards!"
What Wang Guanlan said was very vague, but Yao Yifei also knew that since he had not contributed anything, it was unrealistic to ask a guy like Wang Guanlan to give a clear commitment, so he smiled and chatted with Wang Guanlan for a few words before getting up.
Farewell.
After sending Yao Yifei out, Wang Guanlan stood on the steps in front of the door and counted the seconds, quickly calculating the pros and cons of the matter in his mind. It was not until Luo Han came to his side that he recovered his mind.
"Sir, news just came from the palace that all the personnel are ready and we can set off at any time. The location is Longlin Port on Wuhuang Island in Qingzhou!"
"Are you ready to leave at any time?!" Wang Guanlan smiled. Similar to this pursuit mission, it had occurred more than once in the history of the Daqi Dynasty. For the nobles of the Daqi Dynasty, this was not so much a mission as a mission.
Rather, it is a test for the outstanding members of the clan, and it also gives them an opportunity to make friends.
The Daqi Dynasty is vast and has various forces. In addition to the four kings with different surnames, there are also many nobles such as princes and marquises. They may not be able to occupy the three states like kings with different surnames like Ning Wangfu.
But in one prefecture and one county, it owns a large amount of land and controls a considerable part of the local power. Moreover, nobles in the same place will unite to form a kind of power that is no less than that of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Such power.
For example, Huangzhou and Yunzhou, these two big states do not have a king with a different surname like Ning Wangfu, but they have an alliance composed of dozens of local nobles, controlling more than half of the power in the two big states.
The influence is powerful. Even the Daqi Dynasty does not dare to underestimate such a force. Each generation of these forces will have many outstanding children, and they will also worry about the choice of successors. No one can compare with them.
They know better what it means to be an excellent heir.
Therefore, when the younger generation reaches a certain age and grows up to be recognized as good enough by most people, they will adopt some methods to let them go out for trials. Such trials are often not within their own sphere of influence.
, but let them leave their own sphere of influence, go out on their own, and see the world. Sometimes when big things happen in the Daqi Dynasty, they will send these outstanding disciples to solve them. Once they come, they can see their true abilities.
, Secondly, outstanding students from all over the world gather together to understand and make friends with each other, which will also be of great benefit to their future development.
The identity of Junsheng was unexpectedly exposed, which contributed to this pursuit and also contributed to this trial.
This trial was presided over by the King of Qin, and almost all influential local forces in the Da Qi Dynasty sent people to participate. The candidate for Prince Ning's Mansion was Wang Guanlan.
But Wang Guanlan cannot go alone. Apart from anything else, Luo Han, as the commander of the Huali Guard under Wang Guanlan, must go with him. In addition to Luo Han, Wang Guanlan can also bring eight people there, which is also the number of people.
