Chapter 70 The prince is free

Beijing,

In Prince Teng's palace, Wang Shuyi made tea for her father and cousin Wang Ren in the study. Today, Prince Teng specially called his daughter and nephew into the study to discuss important matters.

Prince Teng now serves as the governor of the capital camp and has inherited his father's county earldom. He is young and powerful, has great power, and is a leader of the elite, but he has no heirs.

This was a regret in Wang Ziteng's heart. When he saw Wang Ren who was already so old, he thought of his brother. He shook his head and didn't mention it. Seeing that Wang Ren had nothing to do at this time, he thought of how to arrange him.

"Wang Ren, tell your uncle what you want to do."

Wang Ren felt excited after hearing this. My uncle finally wanted me to come. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He did not shy away and said generously;

"Uncle, please look at the arrangements. My nephew has no choice."

Wang Ziteng raised his eyebrows, this was not what he wanted, and continued to ask;

"Then have you thought about what you are going to do and what you are going to face?"

Wang Ren knew that his uncle was testing him, and he also wanted to shoulder the glory of the Wang family, so he spoke boldly;

"Uncle, I have a lot to think about, but what's the use of thinking? The Dawu court now has no hope of promotion for the children of poor families. Without connections in the court, they can't even get in. How have I ever thought about the hardships of poor families and wealthy families?

I am still singing and dancing, and I am afraid that disaster is not far away."

"presumptuous!"

Wang Ziteng scolded him, which made everyone in the room tremble. Wang Shuyi was so frightened that she threw down the tea bowl she was holding, but she still did not dare to speak out to persuade him.

Although Wang Ziteng scolded him, he was still very satisfied in his heart. However, he still scolded him because he was standing from a different angle and his views were naturally different.

"Then have you ever thought that you are also a member of these powerful families? What can you do without a family?"

Wang Ren also knew that his uncle was telling the truth, but would there really be any results if this continued? He couldn't help but ask,

"Uncle, what do you think will happen if this continues?"

"Huh, I think, is it important that I think?"

Wang Ziteng did not answer, but he replied, asking himself, how could he not be mocking himself?

"But uncle, you are a high official in the dynasty, and you are the military governor of the 300,000-strong army in Beijing."

Wang Ren didn't understand that his uncle was already a high official in the imperial court and could make changes.

"What can I, a high official in the court, do? What can the so-called Jiedu Envoy do? I relied on my sister's marriage to secure my position, relied on another sister to obtain money, and relied on my niece to secure my position again.

them?"

Wang Ziteng's gaffe made Wang Ren a little unbelievable. He had thought about this before, but he didn't think much of it. Wang Shuyi also covered her mouth and looked at her strange father in shock.

Wang Ziteng stood up and threw the tea bowl, obviously losing his composure.

"I can't do anything. At present, I only have the swaying Jingying Jiedushi. Why don't I want to change, but I can't change anyone. No one can. I can't change myself, or find a way out for you."

Seeing this, Wang Ren realized that his uncle was so helpless and sad, and he deeply regretted saying so many things that he shouldn't have said, making his uncle so sad.

"Uncle, my nephew has said it before, and he did not mean to slander his uncle."

"I know, and I'm very happy. It's rare that you can see this step. Do you think those wealthy families and nobles don't know? Wrong, they know everything and know everything, so why don't you go and remedy it?"

"this?"

Wang Ren was stunned by the question. They all knew it. Yes, they really didn't know, or they didn't want to know, but why?

Wang Ziteng saw Wang Ren's confused look and didn't bother him. He quietly returned to the desk and sat down. He poured another cup of tea and took a sip. He didn't say until his nephew Wang Ren looked over;

"I'm here to tell you, it's because they have vested interests. You can't think about it, let alone change them. They will sell everything to keep everything they have. I, Wang Ziteng, am also resolute."

"But, uncle."

"But this road is getting narrower and narrower, and it's getting more and more difficult. What should we do?"

Wang Ziteng interrupted Wang Ren's question and spoke directly for Wang Ren. When Wang Ren heard this, he didn't understand what his uncle meant.

"Can uncle please clarify your doubts?"

"You are the only male member of our direct lineage from the Wang family. You think I don't want you to go out to serve as an official. I'm afraid that the Wang family will lose the heir. I have to let you go out this time because every family is taking action.

The Jia family is involved in nepotism and maintaining luxury. How can I, Wang Ziteng, still regard me as nothing?"

"Uncle, where did the Jia family take action?"

"The heirs of the two houses of the Jia family, Jia Rong of Ningguo House has gone to Da Nei to serve as Long Jinwei, and Jia Lian of Rongguo House has come to Beijing Camp as an infantry lieutenant to lead a battalion of troops."

Wang Ren was startled after hearing this. He moved so fast. He was indeed a top nobleman and his reaction was very sharp.

"Uncle, the Jia family is not simple!"

Wang Ziteng nodded appreciatively, looked at Wang Ren with relief, put down the tea bowl, and added,

"Not only that, other princes and nobles have already drawn up their territory in the nine provinces of the border army, and no water can be poured into it. The people inside the customs have almost become private armies, and only the border troops outside the customs are left. This time too

Zhang Jinyu and the Zhang family have eaten it all, not even the dregs are left."

"But uncle, I heard that other distinguished nobles and aristocratic families are planning to find ways to arrange manpower when Lord Zhang returns to the capital."

When Wang Ren said this, Wang Ziteng certainly knew who he was referring to. He wanted to force others to divide their military power. It was just a dream.

"Wishful thinking, you are not a child anymore. When they dream, you also follow them. Do you think you can still vomit out what you have eaten, especially since he is still a hungry tiger?"

Wang Ren was greatly surprised. Why did his uncle know everything? Why did he say that Lord Jinyu was a hungry tiger?

"Uncle, where do you start? In order to avoid being a little paranoid about Lord Zhang Jinyu."

Wang Ziteng was not angry after hearing this and replied calmly;

"Maybe, but do you really think that a mere garrison can control the three cities of Pingyao, Pingyun and Pingyang so quickly after being granted a title? But he did it. Pingyang County was not surprised to hear what he said, but the other two cities

He can mobilize the defenders of the city with just one word, so what do you think he is if he is not a tiger?"

When Wang Ren heard what his uncle said, he realized that Marquis Luo Yun outside the Pass was so powerful, even sophisticated, and he seemed to be another tycoon.

"That's true. I'm afraid that Marquis Luo Yun has had this ambition for a long time. He just took advantage of the Jurchen invasion and succeeded in ascending to the throne. But what to say about Hungry Tiger? At present, it seems that Zhang Hou has been outside the customs and has done nothing. Besides, there are also Jurchen Donghu and others.

The foreigners attacked from both sides."

"Well, yes, he deserves to be a member of my Wang family with such an opinion. It is precisely because of foreigners that he can hold him back and make him keep an eye on the gate of the country. Otherwise, he will not want to leave when he comes to the colorful world of Guan Nei. So-called

A hungry tiger means he wants to be fed, but he is not fed enough. The Northern Army's logistics are still in the hands of the court, but now he should be starving, so I have to find a way to confuse him and use him for my use."

Wang Ziteng knew that the method he mentioned could only guarantee temporary peace. The Luoyun Plain outside the Northeast Pass was the land of kings and dominators.

"Uncle, why do you think this hungry tiger is not hungry anymore?"

"As long as Marquis Luo Yun takes control of the military affairs of the three northeastern cities and restores taxation and trade routes, money will come. Pingyang and Pingyao are fat deer. Feeding his army is not a problem. The court will have no choice at that time."

Wang Ziteng was also helpless. People from all over the country were attacking the military and wealth of the country.

"Then why not trap him in the pass?"

Wang Ren was also thinking of ways to help his uncle and the court.

"It's not impossible, it's impossible. Just one thing, we can't defeat the foreigners. Don't talk about the elite border troops. You will know it when you enter the capital camp. Do you know about the robbery of silver at the intersection in the capital before? The imperial army and the imperial city

Si was killed by a group of refugees and suffered heavy casualties and was completely defeated. The Beijing camp was not much better than them."

Wang Ren really couldn't believe it. That was the Imperial Army, the royal family's last trump card, and its military expenditure was the largest in the military. His uncle didn't look like he was lying.

"Ah, no way! Uncle, why can't he increase his training and become elites?"

"No matter how you train, the soldiers are not fully paid, and there is a shortage of food and clothing. In addition to the actual distribution of the imperial army, I can say that the entire Dawu can only pay 50% of the salary. Do you think I dare to train troops?"

Wang Ziteng looked depressed, knowing very well that Dawu seemed to be powerful now, winning one war after another.

However, as long as one mistake is made, it may cause collapse, so everyone from top to bottom is working hard to maintain an undefeated situation, and even give promotions to those who have made meritorious deeds.

The imperial court was also in the same position!
