The decree from the palace was quickly sent outside the palace, and finally fell into the hands of Wang Jiran.
According to the historical trajectory of the past, Wang Jiran should have broken off his engagement with the Zhao family, and his entire family died in a military rebellion. He was the only one to survive, and he deeply understood the importance of strength.
So he recruited troops, started great events, and became a king. At his peak, he even occupied a state. Finally, he surrendered to Cao Zheng and was reused.
But in this life, after he hurriedly left Shi County, he repaired for a period of time. The recruitment of troops had just begun, and the imperial decree came down.
The general content of it is that after hearing that Wang Jiran was talented, the emperor knew about it and wanted to see him on a whim.
In short, the content here is very far-fetched.
After all, what kind of reputation does Wang Jiran have?
If we really talk about reputation, it is probably that at that time, Zhao Cheng had just taken Wucheng and his destiny appeared, but Wang Jiran was a little blind and did not recognize the real dragon, so he missed the opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
After all, as a businessman, the pinnacle of a businessman is probably to build a country.
Although he felt strange in his heart, Wang Jiran still dragged his family into the divine capital without any thought of escaping halfway.
He was a smart man and knew that if the emperor was angry with him because of Zhao Cheng's incident and wanted to kill him, it would not be that troublesome at all. As long as an imperial edict came down, not to mention his whole family, not even one of the nine tribes would have anywhere to run.
Although the chaos has become apparent now, in some small matters, powerful people from all over the country are still willing to give the imperial court a face.
After entering Beijing, the young emperor actually met him and left a deep impression on him.
After the interview, Wang Jiran's most profound thought was probably, is it true that Da Cang's destiny is still there?! In such a crisis, a king like this was born. I'm afraid it's Da Cang Taizu in the history books.
Even in the era when he worked hard to govern, his situation was nothing more than this.
Later, Wang Jiran was not directly entrusted with important tasks. He only served as a marginal figure, occasionally entering and leaving the palace and chatting with the emperor.
However, Wang Jiran knew that it was not that the emperor did not want to use himself, but that he could not use himself.
He has no foundation now. If he is directly entrusted with important tasks, the only outcome will be that he will be accused of many crimes in a short time. In the end, even the emperor will not be able to protect himself.
But he knew that the emperor would definitely use him.
Although the emperor is still young, he is no ordinary child. He is worried about the dangers of mountains and rivers. Therefore, he is not in a hurry and just waits quietly. At the same time, he is also slowly thinking about the factions in the court.
, and the network of relationships in the divine capital.
At this moment, when Wang Jiran received the imperial edict, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
"My lord, thank God for his grace!"
At the entrance of the residence, facing the envoy from the palace who came to announce the edict, Wang Jiran fell to the ground. After a long time, he raised his head and took the edict with both hands.
At the same time, the eunuch who came to announce the decree also helped Wang Jiran up and whispered: "Master Wang, Your Majesty asked you to do it freely. As long as Your Majesty is here, the sky will not fall!"
"Hold this token as if your Majesty is here in person, hold this sword, kill first and then show off, with the royal authority!"
While talking, the eunuch behind also delivered the items on the tray to Wang Jiran.
When Wang Jiran saw this, he once again thanked Tian En, and even, unknowingly, burst into tears.
However, when he entered his room and closed the doors and windows, Wang Jiran's expression suddenly changed. He was no longer moved at all, but only solemn.
I was moved to tears before, but it was just a joke. No one believed it, and there was no harm. If someone believed it, it was a profit. It was a favor without any cost.
As for tears, what are they worth?!
"This matter is difficult to handle..."
Wang Jiran murmured.
Your Majesty, the sky cannot collapse. Whoever believes this is stupid.
If he were only sixteen or seventeen years old, he might be so moved that he might even be willing to die for the emperor.
But now, as an old fox, he is not that stupid.
"Since ancient times, the emperor has not been the same as the Taoist, and has suppressed and suppressed the Taoist people. Now it must be used, but it must also be polite and light. However, it is difficult to grasp how heavy it is and how light it is. If it is too heavy, it will be too heavy.
If you offend the emperor, you will offend the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, but if you take it too lightly, you will offend the Taoists."
"In today's world situation, Your Majesty wants to use the Taoist's power to reverse the situation. The Taoist must be reused. If he harms the Taoist, he may not kill me until he has finished using me to appease the Taoist..."
"However, it is precisely because it is difficult to handle that this matter fell into my hands. Otherwise, the people gathered in the court are all the smartest people in the world, and not a single one is stupid. If this matter is
Once it's done, it's a credit to Po Tian, but the risk is too great and not worth it, so I'm not willing to take part in it."
"If I do this well, my subsequent official career will definitely be a smooth one."
Wang Jiran's thoughts were racing in his mind, and his eyes were getting deeper and deeper.
But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the study.
"Come in."
Wang Jiran frowned slightly.
"Master, it's not good, Miss, she's sick again..."
The servant pushed open the door, made a plop sound, and knelt down directly.
Hearing this, Wang Jiran's brows furrowed even deeper.
After the news of Zhao Cheng's capture of Wucheng spread, Wang Mingwei began to have worries and vaguely complained about him.
When Zhao Cheng succeeded Huang Tiandao, Wang Mingwei became even more resentful towards him.
Until Zhao Chengnan became king, the conflict between father and daughter completely broke out.
Wang Mingwei had been complaining about him, saying that he should not have broken off the engagement. If he had not broken off the engagement, she would be the princess now, but she did not remember at all that she herself had contributed to this matter.
Therefore, Wang Jiran was also angry and slapped Wang Mingwei directly. As a result, this slap actually drove Wang Mingwei crazy, sometimes sober and sometimes crazy.
…
More than half a month later, a group of Taoist monks came to Beijing, and the court held a grand water and land ceremony for this purpose.
That night, several immortals entered the palace at night and left the palace carrying the imperial edict.
The intention is to use the imperial edict to pardon the divine sword to offset part of the suppression of Qi, so that several immortals can work together to stab the devil!
Liu Guangzheng naturally wanted to use the power of Taoists to develop industry, so as to explode the army and achieve crushing force.
But Taoists all have their own ideas, especially those immortals, each of whom has his own "Tao".
For the sake of profit, they can support Longting, but they will never become the emperor's dogs.
In the final analysis, although there are interests involved, the relationship between the Taoist and the emperor is still one of mutual use.
"As expected, there is no king, no father, and lawlessness!"
"If the demon is really so easy to deal with, how could it be possible for those immortals and Buddhas in the upper realm to cause such a big disturbance?!"
"It is impossible for those Taoists to not think of this under normal circumstances, but they still insist on doing so. It is just that the benefits are so great that it makes them stupid. Any favors, humiliations, indifference and fame and fortune are all fake. The desires of Taoists are actually the desires of all living beings.
most!"
After the Taoists had gone away, Liu Guangzheng murmured in a low voice.
