Chapter One Thousand and Twenty Seven: The Current Situation of the Jin Dynasty
There is no need for Wang Mo to ask for anything. Wang Mi has a clear mind. He doesn't need to look at anyone else, just look at his precious son Wang Jian.
It's nothing more than money, or something more important than money, that is, greater benefits.
You can give it to him.
This is the time to compete to see who has the sharpest eyes and quickest hands.
Wang Mo, on the other hand, is obviously a well-prepared person. It is precisely because he is always worried about money that he can remain a hundred times alert at all times.
As soon as I smelled the smell of copper, I immediately reacted.
There is no doubt about Wang Mo's ability to do things. Wang Mi doesn't even need to show up. With him alone, one man can stop ten thousand people.
I saw him leading a group of servants and vigorously pushing open the door.
And before his eyes, right in front of the gate of Prince Langya's Mansion, people of all kinds had already piled up.
Some were old acquaintances from the imperial court, all of whom came from the same aristocratic families, but there were also some who had serious jobs in Jiankang City.
However, these people were originally a disadvantaged group in the court. Basically, they had no share in the morning court, and they rarely could see the emperor.
I usually just commute to and from get off work on time at the office.
Because the entire family structure has not changed, what else can they do? There is simply no room for improvement.
It's different now.
The Langya Wang family suddenly emerged as a regent!
This is a groundbreaking event!
It is definitely beyond people's cognitive level.
At that time, Huan Wen, who was domineering and arrogant, could not accomplish anything. Wang Mi, who seemed to be gentle and gentle and never gave his opponents a bad look, actually did it!
What could be more surprising than this?
More unacceptable?
At this time, even people who don’t want to contribute should still come and take a look at the excitement.
What a magical moment!
How can I be absent?
Apart from these people who still have some impressions, the absolute majority in front of Prince Langya's Mansion are actually strangers.
Wang Mo sat on the bed and glanced around, his expression calm, because he didn't know many people at all.
Judging by the way they were dressed, it seemed that they did not come from any of the famous families. Some were ordinary wealthy people in Jiankang City, and some did not seem to be very decent, but their bodies looked quite tough.
"Stand up quickly and stop talking!"
"This is General Wang!"
"General Wang?"
"King Langya?"
Several young men, who seemed to be very brave, when they heard that there was a general, they knelt down and kowtowed without saying anything.
Wang Mo's mouth couldn't stop twitching.
It’s really a mixed bag here, everyone is there.
Among the various noisy sounds, a figure stood out, especially majestic.
He was an old man with a long beard. He looked energetic and his mouth was about to bloom when he smiled.
"General Wang, why did you come out? These people are in too much chaos. Why don't you let me help evacuate them?"
"Many people are of no use, just send them away."
"Ayu, you came so early!"
The person who came was none other than Fan Ayu, and Wang Mo recognized him at a glance. He was not as good-tempered as Wang Mi. Although Fan Ning was actively engaged in business, Wang Mo still declined his proposal.
"No need."
"Everyone takes advantage of each other's strengths, and maybe they all have some use."
"Besides, they all came to seek refuge with King Langya. Regardless of whether they are really capable or not, they are always sincere."
"The new king has established himself, it is the time to hire people. We cannot bury talents just because of our own selfish opinions."
Everyone knows what kind of character Wang Mo was in the past, but today he looks so sane.
Lao Fan laughed: "But with so many people, they all have to contribute, and Zhiyuan doesn't come out, how can you know their strengths?"
"Why can't I know?"
Do you look down on me?
Some things are like this. It is a fact that everyone knows, but no one wants to point it out. After all, we are all social beings.
As long as you still want to hang out in Jiankang City, there are some people who cannot be offended. For example, Wang Mo is one of them.
It is a consensus that one would rather offend Wang Mi than Wang Mo.
"How is that possible?"
"General Wang has always been brave, and I admire him very much. However, General Wang has never been in court. I wonder if there is any good way to distinguish the talents of these people today?"
"To tell you the truth, I came here early today, as soon as it was dawn, and I came over. At that time, there were already more than a dozen people standing here. If you look at it now, there are hundreds of people!"
"Many people have been waiting here for nearly an hour. If we don't find a way to deal with it, I'm afraid something will happen."
Fan Ayu said with a happy face, but in fact, he only wanted to see Wang Mo's joke.
There are so many capable people in Jiankang City who want to defect to the new King Langya, and right now, they are still coming from all directions.
As Wang Mi's good friend, Fan Ning certainly didn't have to join in the fun. In Wang Mi's words, he, Fan Ning, was only suitable for learning, and other important matters were not his thing to worry about.
In the officialdom of Jin Dynasty, Fan Ning can be regarded as a typical example.
Neither good nor bad.
A standard example of a wallflower.
In order to make life easier, he can be shaped into any shape at will, whether it is square or round.
It would be unfair to say that he had no ambition at all. In fact, he still had some ambitions. After all, at that time, when Wang Guobao was still alive, he was still very close to Sima Daozi.
Although he always scorned Wang Guobao's various actions, he did not alienate him because of this.
Of course, two of them are uncles and nephews, because blood is thicker than water. However, given Fan Ning's status, it is no big problem that he really doesn't want to talk to Wang Guobao.
After all, at that time, Wang Guobao's reputation in the Jin Dynasty was not good at all, and many people were dissatisfied with his conduct.
What Xie An did was common.
But if Fan Ning is determined to put all these ambitions into practice, he does not have that strong motivation.
After all, fundamentally speaking, Fan Ning is still from a noble family. He has many of the problems that children from aristocratic families have, and even far exceeds them.
He is a quite lazy person, not physically lazy, but mentally lazy.
This is something fundamental and cannot be overcome by doing some superficial work.
A fight in the court?
Fighting for power and profit?
It sounds wonderful. If you can get tangible benefits, of course you won't refuse it, but, what?
In order to get more benefits, you still have to ask me to work hard?
That’s not true!
Shouldn't these people be sent here with all their might?
Why do you still need me to do something?
Forget it, just lie down flat.
Therefore, many children of so-called aristocratic families like Fan Ning have similar mental journeys.
Many people talk on paper and have beautiful ideals, but they have no clear plan on how to implement their ideals.
This has also resulted in the fact that many children of aristocratic families who are usually powerful and powerful, if they are romantic, talk about life, talk about ideals, or even do some things that civil servants should do, it is okay, but they must not be
One of the reasons for the battlefield.
The battlefield is real and bloody. It is the most practical place and does not give these people any room for fantasy.
When you stand on the battlefield, listening to the constant sounds of fighting around you, you see soldiers falling one after another.
That kind of tragic scene is definitely not something you can face calmly just by studying it and imagining it in your study.
Why do deserters always appear on the battlefield?
Why do deserters always appear in groups, or even abandon the city directly?
That's precisely because only warriors face the possibility of death, and death is cruel.
So, when these children of aristocratic families who had lived too comfortable a good life actually stood on the battlefield and experienced the baptism of blood and fire, they gave in and ran away.
But there is no need to blame them too harshly. This seems to be a normal state and the most normal psychological reaction.
However, history will not stop its progress because of their cowardice, so many of these people who only know how to talk have also fallen on the road to their own achievements.
He paid a heavy price for their ignorance.
And the price is their lives!
For example, the current Mr. Fan can maintain a close relationship with a rotten person like Wang Guobao, and is now actively communicating with Wang Mi. This is enough to show that Fan Ning also has ideas about the expected benefits in the future.
He is not as indifferent to fame and fortune as he boasts.
However, he is also a cunning person.
Among the many people who jump very high and are active in their work, he is quite determined. Anyway, King Langya will not treat him badly in the future.
So what he has to do now is to stand firm. As for whether to actively plan again, this is something that needs to be considered in the future.
It also depends on Wang Mi’s thoughts.
After all, Wang Mi also has his own set of people. Those young people who started their careers in Jingkou are all capable people.
Not only is his martial arts top-notch, but he is also said to be very good at martial arts. Now, Wang Mi has finally changed his identity and became King Langya. Now, it's time for those people to set off.
Set off!
The short journey from Jingkou to Jiankang has finally gained a reputation.
In fact, the knowledgeable people in the imperial court had long realized that Wang Mi's ambition was far more than just occupying a northern mansion.
Of course, leading troops in battle is also a way to control power, but it would be too ridiculous to go through life and death like that, disregarding one's own safety, just to get addicted to fighting and test whether one is a pure man.
Working hard like this is of course for a longer-term goal.
It can be said that it was the failure of the Sima family that created opportunities for Wang Mi.
Everything was fine, why did Sima Yao die?
Fan Ning was a core figure in the imperial court and had always been on good terms with Wang Mi. He knew the true cause of Sima Yao's death very well.
The huge obstacle that prevented Wang Mi from going further was removed, but you can't accuse him of anything, you can't even find an angle.
Because, on the surface, there is no connection between the real prisoner and Wang Mi. In fact, in terms of connection, the connection between Zhang Gui and Sima Daozi is even closer.
If Sima Daozi was still alive at that time and Sima Yao died, the ministers in the court would immediately point the finger at him.
After all, as long as the eldest brother dies, he is the biggest beneficiary. Judging from the situation at that time, regardless of whether Sima Yao was really killed by his own brother, as long as he dies, the ministers in the court can only support Sima Yao.
Daozi became emperor.
After all, at that time, Sima Daozi was the only choice from all angles.
However, Sima Daozi was killed by his brother before Sima Yao died, so anyone could be a suspect, but Sima Daozi was extremely innocent.
He took his innocent body underground!
No one can find out what Zhang Guiren was thinking at that time. Why did she do this? Is it really just to compete for favor?
The reason behind it is definitely not that simple, but with the disappearance of Zhang Guiren, the truth of this matter is destined to be obscured.
The final result was that Wang Mi, who had been accumulating strength, actually benefited from their self-destruction.
Everyone will know that Sima Dezong's little baby came to power. This is unstable and will not last long.
This is closely related to the current situation within the Jin Dynasty. The current Jin Dynasty is not a strong Han Dynasty. At that time, the entire court was loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, because the previous generations were good at martial arts and their neighbors were relatively peaceful, the Han Dynasty did not have much interference from foreign enemies.
As far as internal development is concerned, it can still be maintained without a sound-minded emperor, and there won't be any major problems within a few years.
Of course, if you want to maintain such a lame court, an old queen mother who can speak effectively is a must.
This person must have prestige in the court, and at the same time, he must have a shrewd mind and be able to assess the situation.
These are all indispensable.
In comparison, today's Dajin really does not have such a soil. Not only is Wang Zhenying not capable enough, this has a lot to do with the fact that she has never been favored by Sima Yao.
This allowed her to rarely meet with important ministers of the previous dynasty, let alone establish prestige among them.
These people were not familiar with the young Queen Mother, and at the same time, they were not that convinced by her.
Not to mention trust, it doesn't exist at all.
In this kind of court where there is no mutual trust, the one who can maintain the current calm is Wang Gong.
To be honest, rather than saying that the ministers in the court believed in Wang Zhenying, it was better to say that they believed in Wang Gong. After all, Wang Gong's performance was pretty good during those years of cooperation with Sima Yao.
He also has qualifications and status.
It was enough to overwhelm the opposing voices in the court.
However, behind Wang Gong's triumph, there is also some danger gradually approaching, brought by none other than Beifu General Wang Mi.
Since Wang Mi's power has become more and more stable and he has won more and more battles, Wang Gong's uneasiness has become more and more obvious.
Not to mention anything else, Wang Mi is twenty years younger than him. He has plenty of time and now has ambitions. As for Wang Mi's own abilities, in fact, no one knows it better than Wang Gong.
