Wang Mi was still worried about what happened to his letter, but the boy of the Wang family couldn't wait any longer. He knew that Wang Mi was not someone to be trifled with, so he didn't dare to urge him with words, so he had to keep hinting at him with his eyes.
Fortunately, after waiting for a while, Wang Mi finally opened the letter.
What would Wang Gong say?
We can't let him rush to Jiankang City in three days!
Hum hum!
He thinks beautifully!
Even if Wang Gong told the truth about this matter, Wang Mi would never listen to him.
He was just giving himself orders under the guise of the imperial court, but in reality these so-called orders were all Wang Gong's own ideas.
For Wang Mi, the one who should be protected the most now is Xie An.
Xie An has made it very clear that letting the Beifu army stay at Jingkou is the best choice for the Beifu soldiers.
As for how Wang Gong dances, it’s none of his business!
Out of sight out of mind.
Anyway, Wang Gong is in Jiankang City, and he dare not come out, while Wang Mi is in Xuzhou, and will be in Jingkou in the future. If the two of them don't see the king, what else can Wang Gong do to him?
In the current situation, shouldn’t it be Wang Gong that the freshmen are afraid of?
In this troubled world, whoever has the army in his hands will have confidence and strength.
And in the Jin Dynasty, who is currently in the hands of the most powerful army?
who?
Of course it’s Wang Mi!
Only he can command this army properly and maximize its effectiveness.
And what does Wang Gong have in his hand?
Only relying on the measly few guards in Jiankang City?
What a joke!
They are nothing compared to the Beifu soldiers who are well-equipped, high-quality and tough in style!
As long as the army can reach Jingkou, gunpowder and artillery can be quickly replenished. By then, won't it be even more powerful for the Beifu soldiers?
As long as Liu Laozhi doesn't cause trouble, that's fine.
Even in such a situation, Wang Gong still dared to criticize Wang Mi. I really don’t know who gave him the courage.
Looking at the imperial court, who will support him?
Are we counting on Jingzhou soldiers?
impossible!
As long as Wang Gong didn't have Lao Hutu, he would know that he couldn't count on the Huan family in Qiaojun.
Besides, given the relationship between Huan Chong, the current head of the Jingzhou Army, and Wang Mi, it is very possible that as soon as chaos breaks out in the Jin Dynasty, Huan Chong might directly jump out to support Wang Mi.
With the thought that he would never return to Jiankang on time, Wang Mi finally opened Wang Gong's letter.
"The army has won a new victory and is exhausted. My brother is far away and can return slowly. When the army returns in triumph, I, as a brother, will line up with all the officials outside Jiankang City to greet them."
What's happening here?
Wang Mi slowly raised his head. This letter from Wang Gong was simply incredible.
What does it mean to return slowly?
What's the point of lining up to greet you?
Who needs him to line up anymore?
Besides, who is Wang Gong? He can mobilize all the civil and military officials in the dynasty?
"What does your master mean by this?"
"A few days ago, I just received a decree from the imperial court, requiring the Beifu soldiers to set off from Yecheng immediately and return to Jiankang as soon as possible without any delay."
"It's only been a few days, why has the prince changed his mind?"
The boy in front of him was just a messenger. Normally, he would not know the contents of Wang Gong's letters, and there was no need for Wang Mi to tell him these court secrets.
However, he still did it.
Wang Gong is capricious. Since he sent this person here, he must know something about Wang Gong's thoughts.
Or, this boy can provide him with some information. For example, what happened that made Wang Gong change his mind in a short period of time?
Wang Mi believed that the person in front of him would be able to give him an answer.
If he doesn't know anything, then why is he here?
Are you kidding me?
The boy was very dishonest. He even rubbed his hands and pretended to be innocent.
"Wang Shilang asked this, but Zhe Sha is a young man. How can a young man guess the prince's thoughts?"
"Since you refuse to tell the truth, I will pretend that I have not received this letter. The army will arrive in Xuzhou tomorrow. How to go and how to go. I think we can reach Jingkou in a few days."
"The prince also said in his letter that when the time comes, he will definitely bring the civil and military officials of the court to greet me outside the city gate. Then I have to hold on tight and return to the city as soon as possible!"
"Wang Shilang, that's not possible!"
"Young Master Wang has misunderstood. Your Majesty, that's not what he meant!" The young man became anxious and immediately began to speak indiscriminately.
Wang Mi smiled happily: "If that's not what you mean, what do you mean?"
"Didn't you just say that you don't know what the prince is thinking?"
"Since you don't know, how can you deny it for the prince?"
"Could it be that you are the one who makes your own decisions?"
Wang Mi continued to output. The boy of the Wang family was an ordinary boy. He had always been by Wang Gong's side. Whatever he said, he would do what he said. There were not many people in Jiankang City who dared to offend him, Wang Gong.
Celebrities around you.
I never imagined that this Wang Mi was so powerful.
He was blinded by a few words.
He didn't dare to comment on Wang Gong's thoughts, so he quickly acted truthfully.
"Don't worry, Minister Wang. This letter is definitely written by the prince himself, and the contents in it are all the prince's true feelings."
"Wang Shilang didn't know something. Originally, the prince wanted the army to shrink back to Jiankang quickly, but he didn't expect it. The Queen Mother objected, and the prince had no choice, so he changed his mind."
"The Queen Mother?"
"How did she get involved in this?"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Wang Mi felt a little regretful.
There seems to be a feeling of speaking ill of people behind their backs. If Wang Zhenying finds out about this, I'm afraid it will not be beneficial.
However, this is also a normal psychological change for Wang Mi.
What kind of person Wang Zhenying is, he is clear, refreshing, neither fighting nor competing, and definitely looks like a lady to everyone.
How could she disobey her brother on such a major court matter?
Besides, how did this young man know about these private words in the court?
It couldn't have been Wang Gong who told him personally!
Although Wang Mi regretted it a little, he said what he said and there was no need to make amends.
Wang Gong's servant did not hear anything wrong with Wang Mi's words, because he had the same feeling at first.
For a long time, Wang Gong controlled the government in the previous dynasty, and Wang Zhenying was the queen mother in the Buddhist family of the harem, and they cooperated very well.
I had never heard of the Queen Mother being dissatisfied with Wang Gong's actions in the past, but I didn't expect that this time it was the Queen Mother who made Wang Gong change her mind.
I only heard him say slowly: "How can I know the specific situation?"
"It's just that on that day, the Queen Mother sent her little eunuch Xiao Cai'er to the palace to convey a message, saying that they had something important to discuss. In fact, I didn't know what the specific matter was. However, before that, the prince
I had no intention of taking back my life, but when I came back from the palace, I suddenly changed my mind."
"I stayed in the study for a day, and the next day I gave this letter to the young man, and asked him to hurry up and deliver it to the hands of Wang Shilang."
"As subordinates, how could the prince tell us such a confidential matter? I can only guess this based on what happened that day."
"I can't be sure."
When the boy said these words, he did seem a little guilty. He didn't even dare to raise his head or even look at Wang Mi.
Wang Mi took the letter and wondered whether the boy's words were true or false.
Since he said so, many details should be true. However, Wang Mi was still very suspicious. Wang Zhenying was Wang Gong's biological sister. Now that she had become the Queen Mother, it was the time when she needed someone to provide support in the previous dynasty.
Obviously, Wang Gong is the right candidate.
Faced with such an offensive and defensive alliance and a community of interests, how could Wang Zhenying do something that was obviously against Wang Gong's wishes?
If everything the boy said is true and the order is correct, it at least means that Wang Zhenying did something to make Wang Gong change his mind.
why?
Wang Mi couldn't understand.
Logically speaking, since Wang Zhenying is the Queen Mother of the Jin Dynasty, she certainly represents the interests of the court and the Sima family.
Although the Sima family has nothing to do with her now, if she had not married into the Sima family, the position of Queen Mother would not have been hers.
Therefore, whether it is true or false, Wang Zhenying must at least stand up on the surface to safeguard the interests of the Sima family.
For the Sima family, today's Beifu soldiers can no longer be regarded as their own barrier. In a large sense, they have also become a threat.
In fact, if it was really Wang Zhenying who made the decision to ask Wang Mi and others to lead the army back to Jiankang City quickly, this would be acceptable.
Because the imperial court has always been very enthusiastic when employing people and kicking them away when they are no longer useful.
It has been many years without any progress and I have long been used to it.
In other words, although Wang Gong was the author of the last imperial edict, Wang Mi also believed that it was the common expression of their brother and sister's wishes.
But looking at it today, perhaps there are still some differences.
"Does the Queen Mother often participate in these matters in the court?"
Wang Mi suddenly asked this question, but Zeng Jing was frightened. He winked several times, trying to make Wang Mi take it back.
However, Wang Shilang didn't give him any face at all.
Just ask.
So what?
Although these words should not have been mentioned to a boy who was responsible for running errands, he wanted to tell Wang Gong, but he couldn't find him!
The distance between the two people in a straight line is too far. Besides, if he goes to see Wang Gong at this time, it is uncertain whether he will meet him based on that man's cautious attitude.

He even went to the city gate to greet him, luckily he could say it!
Blow it!
When the time comes, the Beifu army arrives in Jiankang City, and Wang Gong, Wang Gong, will not set a trap and send troops to arrest them, which will be considered as a sign of respect.
Although what Wang Gong said in his letter was very colorful, Wang Mi didn't believe a few words.
He believed that Wang Gong had a strong desire to eradicate him in his heart. If Wang Zhenying was really behind this letter of concession, it would further illustrate that Wang Gong wrote the letter because he was pressured by his sister.
, not out of true feelings.
Wang Mi could probably guess about 70% of Wang Gong's little thoughts without seeing his people. There was no difficulty at all.
On the other hand, the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying, a young person, has various operations that are really puzzling.
Why are you going against your brother?
Wang Gong is such a narrow-minded person, and he treats his friends who have been friends for many years with the same attitude of turning against each other. He will not be any better when it comes to his own girls.
For such a person, if Wang Zhenying insists on forcing his temper, it would be strange if he doesn't jump on it!
Is it possible?
This boy, will he know?
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Wang Mi was very suspicious.
He stared at him with a scrutinizing eye, and the expression on his face was very nice. Don't put pressure on him!
Otherwise, even if he knows something, he won't dare to say it.
In fact, there was no need for Wang Mi to do this in the first place. This young man was sent by Wang Gong to deliver the message. Needless to say, he must be a confidant.
Now that he turned around and asked about the things he was asking about here, this boy would definitely report them to Wang Gong exactly as they were.
This is absolutely unfavorable to Wang Mi.
However, Wang Mi didn't care.
Who cares!
Sooner or later, Wang Gong will also know about these things. Now the relationship between the two people has dropped to the freezing point, which is almost a prelude to breaking up.
There is nothing to worry about!
If he wants to inquire, let him inquire; if he wants to be jealous, let him be jealous!
"Why did Mr. Wang say this?"
After waiting for a long time, the boy didn't say anything useful. Instead, he muttered such a sentence, which was really disgusting.
"You don't have to think too much about asking the Queen Mother what she thinks. I only followed your words when I asked."
"Since you said that it was the Queen Mother who made the prince change his mind, it means that the Queen Mother's words still carry a lot of weight in the Jiankang court."
"You also know that our army is about to return to Jiankang City. Now, I have no idea what the Queen Mother thinks of us."
"If you don't mind, little brother, you can tell me what are the recent developments on the Queen Mother's side?"
What are the trends in the court?
Is that something you can tell him?
If you told him, wouldn't it be equivalent to leaking the prince's movements to him in advance?
This is definitely not a good thing for my lord.
Although the boy was humble and humble, he was still loyal to Wang Gong after all.
After thinking about it, I don’t want to say it.
But Wang Mi was pressing hard. The most important thing was that he was on their territory now, with soldiers everywhere around him.
Even in Wang Mi's military tent, there were several strong men who were eyeing him eagerly.
Let's just say now, if he doesn't say something, he is really worried that he will never come back and will never be able to return to Jiankang City!
In that case, if you rush into the street before the great achievements are made, it will not be worth the loss.
No matter what, you have to get past Wang Mi!
Fortunately, this fair-skinned scholar doesn't look that powerful.
Even, he looks a bit easy to bully.
Then don’t blame the liars for being bad, it’s all because there are too many fools!
"Wang Shilang Mingjian, the young one is just a servant in the palace, what can I know?"
Although he had to lie and deceive people, the young man still understood the specific process very well.
Without foreshadowing, no matter how stupid others are, how can they be believed?
Of course Wang Mi knew that this was just a false pretense before he was ready to tell the inside story, so it didn't matter.
As long as this kid can speak, it is the greatest victory for him.
