Chapter 873 Brother and sister against each other?
Wang Mi only said: "Little brother, just tell me what you know. You also know that the prince and I have been friends for many years. In the court, the person I respect the most is the prince, and the prince has always been good to me."
"If there are really any changes in the imperial court, I would also like to hear about it and make preparations in advance. When the army returns to the city, I can also support the prince, right?"
What is meant by speaking better than singing? Just look at Wang Mi and you will know.
What a good friend!
My prince no longer regards you as a friend. He is really thick-skinned.
He is really thick-skinned. If he hadn't been thick-skinned, he wouldn't be here today!
After all, the boy was too naive, thinking that Wang Mi looked fair and clean, and he had some scruples about his face.
Little did he know that Wang Shilang had already turned into a completely shameless person.
He is completely different from the former Wang Shilang!
"My lord is very grateful that Mr. Wang can do this."
"Since Mr. Wang has this intention, then the young man will not be humble anymore."
"Actually, since the Queen Mother took charge of the harem, the Queen Mother has indeed been very concerned about the affairs of the previous dynasty, especially those involving the Beifu, and she has been involved a lot."
"Although the young one is just a servant in the palace and has never been to the palace with the prince, I have often heard from my wife that before the queen mother entered the palace, she was a very backbone and insightful woman in the royal family. She must have
After entering the palace, my horizons are broadened and I have more methods."
"In addition, now that the prince is in charge of the court, it is normal for the brother and sister to have many discussions. However, the younger one feels that there is no need to worry, Wang Shilang. The Queen Mother has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs. It is not enough to take charge of the government these days.
It's because Your Majesty is still young and cannot personally govern. When Your Majesty grows up, the Queen Mother will naturally retreat to the harem and no longer participate in the affairs of the previous dynasty."
hehe!
Well said.
Your Majesty is still breastfeeding. How many years will it take for him to take charge?
This pole will only be used more than ten years later?
According to him, if you dare to love the government, do the Wang family brothers and sisters want to continue to control the government for more than ten years?
If they could do this, Wang Mi wouldn't have to mess around anymore.
It’s faster to dream!
Although Wang Mi complained repeatedly in his heart, he still didn't show it on his face. However, what this boy said was actually completely contrary to Wang Zhenying's approach.
Why is this?
Since the relationship between the brother and sister is so good and they cooperate tacitly, why does Wang Zhenying urge Wang Gong to give in?
Instruct Beifu soldiers to stop advancing in a hurry?
Isn't this strange?
This request is obviously contrary to Wang Gong's original pursuit.
Will Wang Gong just ignore it?
Of course, judging from the current distribution of power in the Jin Dynasty, although Wang Zhenying is a bare queen mother and has no connections of her own in the court, her status is still higher than that of Wang Gong.
It can be said that if Wang Zhenying could participate in court politics and cultivate some power of her own when Sima Yao was alive, there would be nothing wrong with Wang Gong, and he would not be able to suppress Wang Zhenying at all.
However, now it seems that the relationship between the two brothers and sisters should be more complicated.
On the one hand, if Wang Zhenying wants to secure her position as Queen Mother, she needs Wang Gong, her brother, to support her in the previous court.
On the other hand, if Wang Gong wanted to continue to control the government as a matter of course, he also needed the name of Guojiu as a cover.
However, it is obvious that in the comparison of strength between the two, Wang Gong needs Wang Zhenying more.
As for Wang Zhenying and Sima Yao, they are already dead anyway.
He also had no adult offspring, and Sima Dezong was still breastfeeding, so as the Queen Mother, she was justified in her duties.
No one can depose her.
Even if Wang Gong is unlucky in the future, she, Wang Zhenying, will most likely not be implicated. She will just retreat to the harem and never interfere with the affairs of the previous dynasty.
Perhaps, the differences between the two of them will arise from this difference in status in the beginning.
"In this way, the Queen Mother is still very concerned about the construction of Beifu." Wang Mi sighed.
The boy said sincerely: "That's true. Although the prince didn't say it explicitly, but in the past few days, through a few words, I did hear that the Queen Mother is very concerned about the soldiers of the Beifu."
"Perhaps Mr. Wang still remembers that a few days ago, before the army went out for the expedition, the Queen Mother took out the furniture from the inner court to support the general's workshop and make new weapons for the Beifu."
"At that time, the Queen Mother said that the Beifu soldiers were the army of the imperial court, and they fought in all directions for the sake of the Jin Dynasty."
"As the Queen Mother of the Jin Dynasty, she should fully support the Beifu soldiers."
The boy mentioned it for a moment, and Wang Mi really remembered it.
There is indeed such a thing!
It is said that Wang Zhenying spent a large sum of money, which can be said to be generous.
At that time, Wang Mi was very anxious because he had been tricked by Huan Chong and defrauded a lot of weapons and gunpowder.
For a time, he could not spare any more money to prepare new weapons. At this moment of desperation, he received a letter from the upcoming great craftsman Puchao.
It is said that the problem of weapons has been solved, and it was the Queen Mother who led all the women in the harem to finance it.
This can be regarded as solving Beifu's urgent need.
If this incident is included, Wang Zhenying's attitude becomes even more intriguing.
At that time, Sima Yao had just passed away, and it had only been a few days since Wang Zhenying was promoted to the Queen Mother. Instead of obediently attending Sima Yao's funeral, she actually thought of taking care of the Beifu soldiers.
She also donated a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. This behavior didn't seem problematic at the time, it was just what a generous queen mother should do.
However, now it seems that the problem is still quite big.
Even though her husband was dead, or died unexpectedly, Wang Zhenying still had the time to think about the Beifu soldiers!
This shows that Wang Zhenying doesn't really care about Sima Yao's life and death, but the one who really attracts her attention is the Beifu soldiers!
Could it be that these are the three things the new Queen Mother did when she took office?
Looking at Wang Gong's subsequent performance, we can also infer that this donation event will not be supported by Wang Gong.
It should be Wang Zhenying's own idea.
Being able to spend a large amount of money to support Wang Mi shows that at least Wang Zhenying still hopes that the Beifu soldiers will do well.

In particular, we don’t want the Beifu soldiers to cause any problems during the Northern Expedition.
This is completely different from Wang Gong's idea.
No matter what, Wang Gong definitely didn't want Wang Mi to get better.
Now Beifu is in the hands of Wang Mi. If Wang Mi is good, the soldiers of Beifu will be strong. On the contrary, if the soldiers of Beifu are strong, Wang Mi's position will become more and more consolidated.
These things are not what Wang Gong wants to see.
So, in order to make Wang Mi unlucky, he didn't even want Beifu to win the battle and funded it?
Do not make jokes!
Those grains and grass that were once promised to be cashed were agreed to in the year of the monkey, but haven't they seen anything until now?
Not even a straw was seen!
Such a prime minister and minister still keeps saying that he is a friend!
Can you count on it?
"Since the Queen Mother supports Beifu, I have nothing to say. I have received this letter and I accept the prince's wishes."
"Since we received the imperial decree last time, our officers and soldiers from Beifu immediately set out from Yecheng and headed towards Jiankang at starry night."
"Now, we are about to cross the important town of Xuzhou. This is still a territory controlled by Di Qin. It is not easy for the army to pass. However, I don't think the prince is clear about the importance of soldiers and speed."
"It is also dangerous for us to stay in Xuzhou for a long time. Therefore, so far, we have no way to delay and have to pass through Xuzhou quickly."
"After I get to Xuzhou, I will report the situation to the court. Maybe I will rest for a while in Yangzhou. At that time, the court wants me to go faster, but I won't move." Wang Mi said with a smile.
After hearing these words, the boy's face was quite good just now, but after hearing this, his face immediately darkened.
Isn’t this rejection?
How dare he refuse the prince's concession!
That’s not true!
Who does he think he is?
"Then how does Wang Shilang plan to reply to my lord's letter?" He raised his eyebrows, questioningly.
Wang Mi didn't care.
He would go back to Jiankang no matter what.
However, it is up to him to decide when to go back and at what speed.
He thanked An for his words.
Even if Wang Gong said it, it doesn’t count!
In fact, Wang Gong's current rhetoric is exactly the same as Wang Mi's original thoughts. Originally, when he wrote to Wang Gong, didn't he just want to delay the march?
Now that Wang Gong has fulfilled his wish, what else is he dissatisfied with?
However, in fact, he was just not satisfied!
What does Wang Gong think of the Beifu army?
If he wants them to move forward, they will move forward. If he wants them to stop, they will stop. Could it be that the Beifu soldiers are now in his hands, Wang Gong?
Furthermore, by being so bossy, Wang Gong was not only insulting the soldiers of the Beifu, but also violating Wang Mi.
All Wang Gong's secret arrows were aimed at Wang Mi.
Although Wang Mi is usually calm and composed, he has a clear mind.
The reason why Wang Gong is jumping up and down like this is because if the Beifu army is in the hands of others, maybe Wang Mi can tolerate it a little bit.
But now, the Beifu soldiers are in the hands of Wang Mi. Yesterday's friend, today's enemy, this is the current situation.
In order to suppress Wang Mi, Wang Gong tried his best, even at the cost of offending the Beifu soldiers.
Therefore, even if Wang Gong's suggestion met the needs of the Beifu soldiers and Wang Mi's psychology, he did not intend to follow it.
What's even more exaggerated is that not only can I not accept your kindness, I will even deliberately disobey you.
"Don't worry about this. You just need to tell the prince what I want. It's too late tonight. I'll write a letter right now and you can take it back with you tomorrow."
"After reading the letter, the prince will understand everything and will not criticize you harshly."
Harsh?
This Minister Wang is really interesting.
He has now completed the task perfectly without any mistakes. Why should the prince punish him?
In fact, the answers just now were concocted by this smart young man himself. He thought that once Wang Mi listened to the lies about the relationship between Wang Zhenying and Wang Gong, when he returned to Jiankang, he would
What bad luck!
As long as things develop like this, Wang Gong will not only not blame him, but will even give him a big reward.
He is really a smart person who can seize opportunities!
After the boy left, Xie Xiang, who kept glaring fiercely, and Zeng Jing, who looked calm but was actually panicking, came over.
They really couldn't understand Wang Mi's various behaviors.
"Wang Shilang, why don't you ask how this young man passed through Xuzhou?"
Zeng Jing was stunned.
What's going on?
Is this little baby mentally ill?
After finally getting the chance, he asked this?
Wang Mi smiled, right?
This is in line with the nature of a child.
Wang Mi was very pleased to see that Xie Tao still had such a side.
"Why do you ask?"
"The big deal is how you got here is how he got here. What's the difference?"
"The most important thing for our army now is that the defense in Xuzhou City is lax, and the management does not seem to be that strict."
"Moreover, guard Fu Fei doesn't seem to have a very strong fighting spirit, and he doesn't want to confront our army head-on."
"It's enough for us to know this. And the reason I asked you to inquire was to use your information to judge the situation in Xuzhou City."
"Now that I have roughly grasped the information, there is no need to ask the palace servant again."
"I see, Captain Zeng, if you want to ask anything, please come and ask me!"
How could a villain like Xie Xiang not see Zeng Jing’s anxious eyes? He was so worried!
I always thought that Xie Xiang was wasting his time and asking questions that were not important.
Zeng Jing, of course, had no intention of being modest and courteous. He stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Wang Shilang, what are we going to do now?"
"Should we go to Xuzhou City or not?"
"Of course I want to go. We are already outside the city. The distance is so close, how can we not go?"
"I'm not Dayu, how can I still pass through the house three times without getting in?"
"Dayu?"
"Shilang Wang is really good at telling jokes. I just feel that the imperial court's will is so different from the previous one. There are so many people in the Beifu army. For a moment, I really don't know whether to enter or stop."
"The imperial court's will?"
"Zeng Jing, I didn't expect you to be so kind!"
"Do you actually think that this is the intention of the imperial court?"
"Is not it?"
"The previous decree was indeed issued in the name of the imperial court!"
What's going on with Zeng Jing?
At the critical moment, he actually made a mistake!
"Is that the decree of the imperial court?"
"That was obviously all caused by Wang Gong!"
"It's all his Wang Gong's thoughts!"
Before Wang Mi could speak, little Xie Xiang became angry first. His tone was righteous and full of anger.
Just now, if Wang Mi hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten up the servant in the palace!
Look at his arrogant look, who does he think he is?
When the Beifu army returns to the city, they will look good!
Xie Xiang's tone was bad, but Wang Mi did not blame him.
The people of the Wang family, especially Wang Gong, are indeed hateful!
It's appropriate to scold someone.
"Everyone, please be patient. As I said just now, even if we want to rest, we have to wait until we pass Xuzhou City."
"Do you think that when such a large army arrives around Xuzhou, do you think that Fu Fei in Xuzhou City will really be indifferent?"
"I'm afraid, he is also waiting to see the movements of the Beifu soldiers!"
