The Emperor's Mission

The emperor gave Wang Yue a temporary residence in Beijing.

Wang Yue's eldest son Wang Chun and the second son Wang Shi were kneeling on the ground and lying on the ground to welcome Zhang Zhou and Xiao Jing to the mansion.

Faced with such enthusiasm, Xiao Jing seemed to be used to it. Perhaps he often gets this kind of treatment when he goes to other families.

Zhang Zhou did not like to reflect the superiority and inferiority in etiquette. He smiled and said, "Why are you so polite? Get up and talk."

Xiao Jing pulled Zhang Zhou and shook his head at Zhang Zhou with a smile, meaning you care about them, kneel down, you came on behalf of the emperor, and it is not unfair for them to kneel down, Besides, their father Wang Yue will probably kneel down when he sees you... This family is like this.

Wang Mingshan, who was standing behind Zhang Zhou and being a bodyguard, was quite confused. Why did his father and uncle bow to me?

"Today is not a formal edict, but just to convey the saying that Wang Yue and King Zhengxian were granted the title of Marquis of Weining and were granted a coupon!" Zhang Zhoudao.

What Zhang Zhou thought was that since someone had knelt down to him, it would be better to convey what he should have communicated earlier, and kneeling was valuable, and there was no need to hide such things.

It’s the same for talking early and late, not to mention that one of them is half of his father-in-law.

"Thank you, Master, Longyou."

Wang Chun sobbed.

He had been the Prince of Weining for several years. He originally had a title that could be inherited, but later Wang Yue was punished and the Wang family was displaced... Now Wang Yue has regained the title, and he skipped the earl and became a marquis directly. His eldest son of the Wang family, who is over 50 years old, was very excited because his father could "turn the tables".

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "This is the grace of the Lord. Of course, there is also the struggle of Marquis of Weining and the contributions of Mr. Zhang, which must not be forgotten."

"Thank you Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang, and Eunuch Xiao."

The two brothers Wang Chun and Wang Shi kowtowed to Xiao Jing and Zhang Zhou again.

Zhang Zhou smiled bitterly.

I thought I was not here to ask for bribes, I was simply asking for gifts and asking for good luck during the Chinese New Year.

"Please get up and talk."

With Zhang Zhou's insistence, he finally helped the brothers Wang Chun and Wang Shi up this time.

It was okay for Wang Chun to go. When Wang Shi found that his daughter was also watching him, he still had some strange expressions. Obviously, he did not agree with his father's decision that the Wang family would kneel down when they saw the emperor's obscene.

"There is another thing for Wang Qianhu." Zhang Zhou looked at Wang Shi.

Wang Shi was stunned at first. The two brothers are now both Jinyiwei Qianhu, who are now the Jinyiwei Qianhu, and they are no different. However, after seeing his brother, he immediately realized that his elder brother Wang Chun is now the successor of Weining Hou. All Jinyiwei Qianhu are in the past. This is how the military position of the Ming Dynasty is. The high ones are given high ones and the low ones are automatically lifted.

Wang Shi almost wanted to kneel down again, but was supported by Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, I can bear it, but I am afraid that your daughter can't stand it and kneel down and kowtow again and again.

"Wang Qianhu will see it yourself." Zhang Zhou handed over an official certificate, "He should also call him Wang Qianshi in the future."

After reading it, Wang Shi was very happy that it was the emperor's edict to promote him to the commander of the Jinyiwei. Although he was also a entrusted official, his official position and status were greatly improved.

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty also ordered that there is currently no shortage of the commander of the Jinyiwei in the court, so Anbian Bo... is the position of a thousand households left by Zhu Feng, the commander of the Jinyiwei in the previous commander of the Jinyiwei. I am wronged to leave it to Wang Qishi."

Zhu Feng is now promoted to Anbian Bo. The emperor has no intention of giving it to Wang Shi directly because he left behind the Jinyiwei Qianhu.

No matter how capable Wang Shi was, at least he was Wang Weining's son. Besides, Wang Shi's daughter has become Zhang Zhou's person now and acts as Zhang Zhou's concubine and bodyguard. The emperor felt that the Wang family was his own, and the positions that Zhu Feng had left behind were of course changed in this small circle.

"I am grateful for what I am, I am so grateful..."

Wang Shi immediately shed tears of excitement.

Xiao Jing said: "Mr. Wang, you must remember whose kindness is this and do your best."

“Yes, yes.”

Wang Shi wiped his tears, but quickly went over to help Xiao Jing take his seat. Xiao Jing pushed him a little and gave him a wink.

It seems that I was confused as soon as I agreed. I don’t know who the protagonist is today, right?

Wang Shi then wanted to go over and help Zhang Zhou again.

Zhang Zhou reached out to block Wang Shi and smiled and said, "Today I am just passing a message for Your Majesty. I will leave soon and never bother me. Wang Junshi wants to perform his duties, so I will talk to Eunuch Xiao, he knows a lot."

Xiao Jing waved his hand and said, "No, our family is here to accompany Mr. Zhang to fight today. You have to listen to the teachings and listen to him."

Wang Chun said: "It is better to move forward if you two are here, and the house has prepared a banquet."

"No need." Zhang Zhou said, "We have to go to Anbian Bo's house... and I will not disturb you much. Eunuch Xiao, it's important for us to finish the errand as soon as possible."

"yes."

Xiao Jing smiled.

Wang Chun understood what he came here, and the people here were in a hurry to leave. Of course, he, who was the master, had to express his feelings.

"Come here, I will bring you a little gift from the two people."

Before going to the northwest, Wang Yue asked his family to prepare a thank-you gift, and even sold all the old houses in his hometown, with the purpose of making it easier to fight after winning the battle.

At that time, Wang Chun didn't understand his father's actions. Now he admired his father so much that he was so impressed that his father was so full of all his paths that he could do as he did.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "We are just doing things and don't accept gifts. Is it Eunuch Xiao?"

"This is natural." Xiao Jing followed the conversation, "The contribution is not on our family, and we deserve it, but Mr. Zhang, you are different."

What he meant was that I won’t accept this gift for now, please feel free to Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou smiled and looked at Wang Mingshan and said, "You Wang family has long given me a generous gift. How can I not be content? I will come to visit again if I have the opportunity in the future, especially Wang Chenshi, who is all his own family, so there is no need to be polite."

Wang Shi then realized that it would be useful to give his daughter to Zhang Zhou.

At least Zhang Zhou treats them all as his own. This time the Wang family was able to make a fortune thanks to Zhang Zhou's help behind the scenes. The two brothers quickly led the way and laughed. They said a good word on the way, probably meaning that this kindness cannot be forgotten, and they will give it back again, etc.

After Zhang Zhou got on the carriage and the carriage started to move forward, he couldn't help but complain: "I felt my face froze when I came here, and I was afraid that I would go to Chengguo's Mansion again and find something to apply to my face after I went back."

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Even if you have a stern face, it's okay. Just let our family laugh with you."

...

...

In the Duke of Chengguo’s mansion, the etiquette seems much more peaceful.

Zhu Fu and Zhu Feng and his son were not at home, and only Zhu Feng's elder brother Zhu Lin came to greet him. As the successor of Duke Cheng, Zhu Lin was more inclined to the formal etiquette of court officials in terms of etiquette, and did not kneel down or something as soon as he came up.

"I am not in my father and brother in the house, so I will bear the favor of Your Majesty for them."

Zhu Lin was quite polite in his speech, but his breath was obviously not very well-proportioned, as if he had some hidden disease.

Zhang Zhou remembered what Zhu Feng said, his elder brother actually had a son before, and even now had a living daughter. Zhu Fu kept taking concubines for the family incense. That question arises, why did Duke Cheng's direct incense be cut off from Zhu Lin's lineage?

Could it be that Zhu Lin has too many concubines and cannot bear it?

Zhu Lin was also young, not as rigid as Wang Chun and Wang Shi brothers. After asking Xiao Jing and Zhang Zhou to sit down, someone still brought up the box.

Xiao Jing said: "What does this mean by young master?"

"I'll express my feelings, I hope you don't dislike me." Zhu Lin was also a scene guy.

"It's not only my intention, but also know when and how to express it. We don't say much, so don't make it difficult for Mr. Zhang." While Xiao Jing was hinting that Zhu Lin would return the gift, he also pushed the matter to Zhang Zhou.

As he was talking, a woman came out with a maid, but it was Zhu Feng's wife Ning Tong.

When Ning Tong saw the three of them, she bowed her face.

Xiao Jing was very curious. Why did a woman suddenly appear in Duke Cheng’s Mansion? Is there no tutor in Duke Cheng’s Mansion and there is no rule that women cannot enter the main hall?

Zhu Lin introduced: "This is a younger brother and sister-in-law. She is Zhijie's wife. Zhijie serves in the border areas, and the affairs of his house are handled by his wife."

"It turns out it's Mrs. Anbian Bo, who is indifferent to respect." Xiao Jingnn wanted to shake his face, but when he heard that he was Zhu Feng's wife, his attitude was naturally different.

Who made Zhu Feng also Zhang Zhou’s capable general?

If he doesn't look at monks and Buddha's faces, Zhang Zhou regards Zhu Feng as his buddy, then Zhu Feng's wife is naturally Zhang Zhou's "his own person". Even he, the Dongchang Mansion, has to give him a little more thin face.

...

...

The three of them continued to sit down and talk, while Ning Tong sat at the end and listened.

Zhang Zhou would look at her from time to time, and she would look back at Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, you are still pretending to be a lady here. If you are really a lady from a high school, how could you look at strangers with nothing to do?

Can't even install it.

"Eunuch Xiao, Your Majesty has an order." An Jinyiwei passed the message.

Xiao Jing hurried out and after seeing the envoy, he came back and whispered to Zhang Zhou: "Mr. Zhang, our family has to leave first, but he said that the Ministry of Rites has submitted a memorial on the sales of the topics. Please check the internal curtains for self-inspection involving the sales of the topics, and Your Majesty issued an order to let our family go to the internal curtains to supervise the release of the results."

Zhang Zhou asked: "Is there any part involving Mr. Cheng?"

"Yes." Xiao Jing did not hide it, "Now the inner curtain review has been completed, and only the review is left. Although the inner curtain officer is not allowed to go out, there is no need to avoid investigations on the case. Your Majesty told us to give some guidance to Mr. Cheng as you said."

Zhang Zhou nodded.

Logically speaking, the inner curtain officer of the imperial examination must be cut off from the outside before completing the list.
