Chapter 934 Please give me a favor and a Happy New Year!
"Absolutely unnecessary!"
"What you and I have in mind are actually the same."
"Although I, Wang Zhenying, am Wang Gong's biological sister, I have not forgotten that I am now the Queen Mother of the Jin Dynasty."
"It would be fine if I were not in my position, but now that I am in this position, I must think about the Jin Dynasty."
"That's why I said, what I want is that you, Zhiyuan, can save the life of my eldest brother, and I will try my best to persuade my eldest brother not to go against you and to control my behavior."
"For now, as long as we can maintain a balance, that's all. As for what will happen in the future, we have to leave it to the future to decide."
"However, I can assure you that I also hope that the Jin Dynasty will be well. I hope that the Beifu soldiers can regain the lost territory and expand the territory. I will fully support your battle, and you can go ahead and do it."
Wang Zhenying's impassioned words made Wang Mi finally understand her inner thoughts. He really didn't expect that Wang Zhenying turned out to be such a hero among women!
Regardless of whether she can do it in the end, if she can say these words, she is already more knowledgeable and courageous than many men.
"The Queen Mother thinks so highly of Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan will definitely do the work of a dog and a horse."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Zhiyuan has fully understood your thoughts. Zhiyuan will not be an enemy of An-Ning, nor will he harm An-Ning. Please do your best to protect Zhiyuan."
"You can rest assured about this." Wang Zhenying looked at Wang Mi and nodded cautiously.
"alright."
"Now that the serious and scary things have been discussed, we can talk about something lighter."
What?
Anything more relaxing?
Wang Mi looked at Wang Zhenying in surprise, unable to believe his ears.
The food was also cold, so the palace maid Si Qing took away the dishes and replaced them with fragrant tea.
As the fragrant tea wafted and the aroma spread, Wang Zhenying's face became much kinder.
"I have a good errand to give you, and you must do it."
"Good job?"
"The Queen Mother, I just say it doesn't matter."
Even though he said this, Wang Gong was really doubtful whether it could be considered a good thing.
"His Majesty has been on the throne for some time. Although he is still young, he is still the king of a country."
"I want to hire a master for him and teach him slowly. After much thought, you are the best candidate."
"You see, you are young, energetic, and knowledgeable, and you are our son. More importantly, His Majesty will grow up in the future. For him, it is best to be both civil and military."
"Nowadays, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, you can be said to be the most capable in both civil and military affairs. That is to say, you, Wang Zhiyuan, have been on the battlefield, have truly seen fighting, and understand the art of war. It is up to you to teach His Majesty the knowledge. This is
The most suitable.”
The emperor’s master?
Is this what Wang Zhenying said?
Which emperor?
Sima Dezong?
Wang Mi suddenly felt that his vision went dark, and a large dark cloud was approaching him mightily.
"I'm afraid Wei Chen won't be able to do this. Wei Chen has few talents and low qualifications. Although he has won a few battles now, it's all a fluke."
"Besides, our court has always valued civility over military affairs, and now the ministers are considered to have joined the ranks and have no status in the court."
"Your Majesty is very talented and very young. He can choose well-educated people from among his courtiers and give him serious teaching, but he is not allowed to do so at this time!"
It's not your fault, it's my fault. This is a very useful way to refuse your boss's assignment.
I've already degraded myself to this point, why don't you make things difficult for me anymore?
Wang Zhenying smiled slightly and said calmly: "Zhiyuan, if you say this, you are not giving me face."
"You know better than me what the level of those people in the imperial court is. What can they teach your Majesty? They are just messing around!"
Oops, how could she comment so much on the officials in the Jin Dynasty?
Although no one recognizes them, each of them thinks very highly of themselves and feels that they are talents!
right!
Talent is not enough to describe them, they should be called geniuses!
Although Wang Zhenying kept giving Wang Mi a high hat, Wang Mi still didn't want to take on this job.
It’s not a question of whether you have time or energy.
There is really something wrong with this student’s qualifications.
If others don’t know, doesn’t Wang Shilang not know?
This Sima Dezong, he is a real retard!
He can't absorb any knowledge at all. There is something wrong with his brain. The reason why it hasn't been exposed yet is because he is still young. What's more, this is ancient times and there are no various inspection instruments. Even if there are now
Clues, that's impossible to detect at all.
Besides, if you point at a child emperor and call him a fool, who would believe it?
Who dares to believe it?
Isn't this causing trouble for yourself?
Therefore, it is safest to put the blame on yourself, but the problem now is that Queen Mother Wang Zhenying does not accept this approach at all.
I didn’t know how to give him the first step and let him stretch his legs down.
That’s not true!
"In my opinion, Mr. Wang, you just don't want to take on this job, and you don't want to share my worries, so that's why you said this."
"In all the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, you, Wang Shilang, are the most capable right now, and you are truly capable. I asked His Majesty to entrust you with it, but you refused to take over. Do you have second thoughts about our Jin Dynasty?"
What the hell?
What are you talking about?
Why am I, a general who goes into battle to kill the enemy, looking after children here?
I'm not a kindergarten teacher, but I can also sing Doulaimi!
Wang Zhenying's assignment was originally weird and inappropriate at all, but now she bites back and puts the blame on him.
Is this justified?
OK!
Since there is no way to hide, can I divert the trouble away?
"No, no, I have misunderstood. How could I have any second thoughts about the imperial court? I am entirely thinking about your majesty."
"Your Majesty is still young and needs a good first-year teacher, but Wei Chen is still busy with many chores in Beifu, and he also has to keep an eye on things in the workshop. These are inseparable from Wei Chen, and this is not
Wei Chen is bragging, and Wei Chen wants to come, and the empress will understand."
"Weichen does not have the time or energy to educate Your Majesty with all his heart, but Weichen knows that there is a better candidate."
"A better candidate?"
"Who are you talking about?" Wang Zhenying was not someone to be bullied. She also saw that Wang Mi was unwilling to accept this job. As the saying goes, forceful melons are not sweet.
In this case, there is no benefit in forcing it.
But now he is talking about another candidate, who else could it be?
This kid, who does he want to give this blame to?
Wang Mi smiled and said, "My dearest lady, isn't the candidate right in front of you?"
"It's Aning!"
"A Ning is not only a leading figure in the court today, but also knowledgeable and talented. Most importantly, he is also my mother's brother."
"Although Your Majesty is not the daughter of your Majesty, since it is your Majesty who is raising you now, nurturing your kindness is naturally more important than generating your kindness. Your Majesty and Aning can also be considered your Majesty's relatives."
"In terms of background, Aning comes from the dignified Wang family in Taiyuan. His background is absolutely outstanding. In terms of knowledge, Aning is definitely not inferior to me. The most important thing is that he is His Majesty's maternal uncle. This kind of kinship is unparalleled by anyone.
superior."
"All conditions have been taken into consideration, and through comprehensive analysis, Aning is the best candidate, much more suitable than Wei Chen."
Right!
Leaving a more suitable candidate like Wang Gong, an excellent choice, but insisting on making things difficult for him, Wang Zhiyuan, no matter what he thinks, why he feels it is inappropriate.
"Brother?" Wang Zhenying hesitated.
Huh?
After going round and round, how could I forget this person?
It seems, seems, and indeed this is the case.
Wang Gong, isn’t he also a very good candidate?
Why didn't you think of it before?
Is it because he was too active and lost his dignity by jumping up and down, so much so that his sister can no longer remember him as a person? Or is it because in the eyes of his sister, Wang Zhiyuan is far better than his brother in every aspect?
"Your Majesty, I wonder if I, the minister, are serious about saying this?"
Wang Zhenying didn't reply for a long time and remained stunned. Wang Mi didn't know what she was thinking, so he couldn't help but remind her.
In fact, he was not in a hurry.
Anyway, the hard work has been thrown away, and with Wang Gong as a living sign, he does not believe that Wang Zhenying would abandon his brother and insist on using him.
Doesn’t this give Wang Gong face?
The thing is like this. In fact, if Wang Mi didn't mention this matter, everything would be okay, because it is possible that Wang Zhenying fell in love with Wang Mi and did not consider other people.
However, Wang Mi has brought it up now.
As a biological sister, don’t you know that you should use your biological brother?
If you don't use it, won't your attitude be too obvious, and your sister will think that your brother is not good enough?
At least not as good as Wang Zhiyuan?
Tsk tsk...
If this kind of news spreads, or if there is no need to spread any gossip at all, as soon as this decision comes out and Wang Mi officially takes office, Wang Gong will make a fuss.
Could it be that he can't see it?
In addition, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would instantly realize that it turned out that the Queen Mother preferred Wang Zhiyuan more than her own brother.
How can Wang Gong still hang out in the court? Where can he put his old face?
How will he lead the team in the future? Who will still work with him?
Each of these matters was of great importance, but Wang Zhenying did not consider any of them. It can only be said that she was also fascinated by the beauty.
After all, you see, right.
The appearance of Wang Shilang is here, and it is really rare to attract people. This is because his own genes are here, and he is talented.
In the competition based on face, age and other conditions, Wang Mi has an absolute advantage.
What's more, when Wang Zhenying thought of this idea, Wang Gong didn't even appear in her mind.
She just wanted to arrange an errand for Wang Zhiyuan so that he could keep an eye on the little emperor.
"What you said makes sense. It's true that I didn't think about it."
"In that case, you have worked hard and can go back home to rest. You don't have to go to court for these two days. When you have rested, we can discuss other matters."
While talking, Wang Zhenying was about to see off the guests.
Although she asked Wang Mi to go back and rest as much as he wanted, Wang Mi was very grateful, but Wang Mi didn't plan to leave yet. He still had important things to say!
oh!
After finally entering the palace to meet the Queen Mother once, I just listened to the Queen Mother's teachings, but I didn't ask for anything. This was really a disadvantage.
It's definitely not Wang Mi's style of doing things.
Although Wang Zhenying has just promised Wang Mi to fully support all activities in Beifu, this is already the biggest goal achieved for Wang Mi.
However, it was Wang Zhenying's own promise, not Wang Mi's initiative. He always felt that he would be at a disadvantage if he didn't make some demands to get Wang Zhenying to agree.
Perhaps this is due to the mentality that if you don't take advantage, you will suffer a loss.
"Your Majesty, I can't leave yet. I have one more thing to do. I want to ask your Majesty for a favor."
"grace?"
"tell me the story."
Judging from this tone, it probably isn't about the Beifu soldiers, nor about any rewards. Those have been discussed before.
For a person with Wang Mi's personality, he would not be able to talk back and forth in a hurry.
What is that about?
Wang Zhenying suddenly became curious.
"The Empress Dowager Mingjian, in fact, it is like this. The ministers captured many soldiers of Di Qin from Yecheng, and they all followed the army from Yecheng and passed through many places. These people have sincerely surrendered. It can be said that they are
He has been tested."
"In order to boost the morale of our army, Wei Chen wants to grab these people and hold a prisoner dedication ceremony. I wonder what the Queen Mother thinks?"
"Prisoner presentation ceremony?"
"Can you do this?"
Wang Zhenying frowned and asked this question seriously.
It's not that she looks down on Wang Mi, it's just that this kind of ritual is too difficult.
This is by no means nitpicking, but the actual situation in the late Jin Dynasty.
The collapse of rituals and music at the end of the Jin Dynasty is something that everyone in later generations knows about. However, many later generations do not know how bad this so-called collapse of rituals and music was.
To put it simply, I don’t even know what a formal official uniform should look like, what color it is, and what standard it is.
It's a new era, so of course we need to create a new atmosphere. Setting official uniforms and grades is the most important part.
However, when His Majesty the Emperor summoned all the important ministers together and wanted to re-establish official uniforms, he found that none of the costumes of the previous dynasty could be found for reference, and those ministers who claimed to be knowledgeable could not even say anything.
There is no reason why.
You say one thing and another says the other. After much talk, no consensus can be reached. The most important reason why no consensus can be reached is that no one can really grasp what the so-called regulations are.
There are different opinions, and no one can refute anyone.
Why is there such a situation?
It was not because of the chaos at the end of the Jin Dynasty that not only people were destroyed, but also countless albums and classics. If you want to research the old allusions, there is no way to start.
Switching to the so-called ritual, it is actually the same.
In this era, things like rituals are the most important thing. This kind of emphasis is not limited to the fact that we only need to do it gracefully, decently, and in a good manner.
We also need to respect the ancients.
We must do everything according to the ancient rules. Only the ancient ones are the best and the most etiquette.
However, it is even more difficult to restore those etiquettes and procedures. What else can’t be done by others, so what virtue and ability does Wang Zhiyuan have?
