Chapter 66 A man from Qinghe County named Wang Lin
Huang Kun cupped his hands and smiled: "With Gao Qiu resigning, the prince will have no worries from now on. As long as the prince passes the palace examination in the future, he will be very successful in the future!"
Wang Lin smiled and handed Huang Kun a small ingot of silver, "Thank you for your kind words, father-in-law."
At this time, another person from Xiaohuangmen hurriedly came to announce the order. Before anyone could enter the door, he laughed loudly and said, "Congratulations, Lord Wang! The official has an order. Wang Lin, the first place in this year's martial arts test, came to the rescue. Now,
Fan risked his life to rescue Emperor Kangfu, and made great contributions to the Song Dynasty... Wang Lin was conferred as a male in Qinghe County, and he was granted the title of 300 households in the city!"
Wang Lin was really stunned. Zhao Ji suddenly named him a man from Qinghe County. He probably belonged to the bottom of the thirteenth rank of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Please ask Mr. Wang Lin from Qinghe County to accept the order!" Xiao Huangmen coughed and cleared his throat, reminding him.
Wang Lin then bowed to accept the order, and Huang Kun also stepped forward to congratulate him. He said with admiration: "Congratulations to the man from Qinghe County, congratulations to the man from Qinghe County! You have won the title this time. It can be said that you have reached the sky in one step. This means that you will pass the imperial examination and be awarded the official title soon."
At least start from the fifth level!"
"In the past decades of our Song Dynasty, Sir Alex has been the number one!"
…
Wang Lin didn't know that in just a few hours, he almost became the emperor's consort.
And for conferring him a title in advance, he should really thank Zhao Huan and Zhang Shuye.
Zhao Ji's original intention was to wait for Wang Lin to pass the palace examination, appoint the Emperor's disciples, grant the first-class martial arts Jinshi, and pass the Tongwen Jinshi rank, and then take the opportunity to marry Zhao Fujin, the concubine of Emperor Kangfu, to Wang Lin, and keep Wang Lin by his side.
In reality, he was just a little follower of the official family.
Accompany him to write and draw, recite poems and enjoy the moonlight, and also act as a personal bodyguard.
As for those personal grand ambitions that Wang Lin mentioned before, delegating troops to local governments to serve as generals to protect the family and the country, Zhao Ji didn't take it to heart at all.
If you stay by my side, you will be the greatest contributor to the Song Dynasty!
But recruiting a prince-in-law is not a trivial matter, and it is impossible for him to decide it with just one word.
So when Zhao Ji came up with this idea, he first called the prince Zhao Huan and the newly promoted "deputy captain" Zhang Shuye to discuss, but Zhang Shuye met with strong opposition.
Zhang Shuye repeatedly suggested that a rare talent like Wang Lin, who was both civil and military, should use his talents to serve the court by entrusting him with important tasks.
Zhao Huan also expressed different opinions.
He did not directly oppose Zhao Ji, but reasoned that Zhao Fujin was still young and the marriage could be postponed for a year or two. As for Wang Lin, he should be sent to the local government to gain experience as an official, and when the time was right, he could be transferred back to Beijing to become a state official.
Chen Yunyun.
By then, if Zhao Fujin is still interested in Wang Lin, it will not be too late to offer him a marriage.
Of course Zhao Huan had selfish motives.
He wanted to win over Wang Lin and train him to be his confidant when he ascended the throne and became emperor in the future, but he did not want Wang Lin to become his brother-in-law.
Zhao Ji's eyes flickered and fell on Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan felt awe-inspiring and quickly lowered his head.
Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "What Huang Er and Zhang Qing said is reasonable, but I am impatient. Hey, I just feel that it is a pity to let Wang Lin leave the capital. He is so good at calligraphy and painting..."
Zhang Shuye's mouth twitched secretly.
Can beautifully written calligraphy make the Song Dynasty rich and powerful?
Can it resist foreign invasion and open up territory for the Song Dynasty?
"Well, let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it later. However, Wang Lin not only saved me once, but also preserved Kangfu's reputation and the dignity of the Song Dynasty royal family, so I cannot but reward him... In this way, I personally drafted the decree
, canonize Wang Lin as a male from Qinghe County, with a reward of one thousand taels!"
"The official sage!"
"Father is wise!"
…
The night is already deep.
East Palace.
Wang Lin followed the two small yellow gates and quickly entered Zhao Huan's bedroom.
"Caomin Wang Lin, pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhao Huan chuckled: "Wang Lin, you are no longer a commoner. You are a man from Qinghe County. Although your title is not high, you have a good character. Get up and watch."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Wang Lin didn't show any pretense and just sat on the golden pier moved by the inner prison. He knew that Zhao Huan called him here late at night just to show his merit and win over him.
"Wang Lin, my father intended to grant you a Kangfu marriage today, but I blocked it for you. You won't blame me for meddling in my own business, right?"
Wang Lin stood up again and bowed sincerely: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"There is no need to mention this matter again, otherwise if we let that girl Kangfu know, we will definitely bring chaos to this palace."
"Wang Lin, I know that you have great ambitions and want to unite the army to serve the country. You are not willing to stay in the court and compete with others. Therefore, I advise my father to transfer you to a foreign country for training after the palace examination, and then transfer you in the future.
What do you think about returning to the capital?" Zhao Huan said with a smile.
"Your Highness, I sincerely wish you all!"
"However, are you willing to hang the false title of Prince Zuo in my East Palace?" Zhao Huan said slowly.
This is already an obvious attempt to win over and test.
Wang Lin did not hesitate, immediately stood up and held his hands in his hands and said: "How dare you refuse!"
His original intention was to advance through the martial arts examination and get into the family. The current situation is much better than he expected. Zhao Ji's attention and Zhao Huan's wooing will help his future development, so why should he refuse?
He was from a humble background and had no foundation in the court. Since Zhao Huan was willing to take the initiative to be a big tree that sheltered him from the wind and rain, why not do it.
Behind him are the official Zhao Ji and the prince Zhao Huan. At least Cai Jing, a traitorous party, will not blatantly cause harm.
Zhao Huan was overjoyed. He suddenly stood up and walked over. He pulled Wang Lin up with a warm kiss and said, "Let's go and have a drink with me. You can rest here tonight."
It was the first time that Zhao Huan held a banquet in the palace to entertain foreign ministers.
After three rounds of drinking.
Zhao Huan took advantage of the wine and smiled and said: "Wang Lin, there are many beautiful maids here in this palace. If you like them, you can choose one or two to sleep with them. Even if I celebrate your honor today, I will give you a reward."
Wang Lin broke into sweat when he heard this and quickly declined politely.
Just kidding, how horny must he be to touch the maid next to the prince? If this spreads out, I don’t know how many civil and admonishers will criticize him verbally.
Of course Zhao Huan was just a gesture, or simply a test.
Seeing that Wang Lin knew the opportunity, he felt even more satisfied. He repeatedly asked for a drink, but Wang Lin always refused to come. After a while, Wang Lin was calm and relaxed, but Zhao Huan was very drunk and was helped by the palace maid to rest.
Wang Lin was led to another palace room by the palace maid.
Before going to bed, he checked the attribute panel and found that the force value was still at the level of 50. There was no sign of a breakthrough. Only the health value and reputation value continued to increase.

…
Outside the palace.
Li Shishi, who has good hands and eyes, soon learned two pieces of breaking news.
One is that Gao Qiu was dismissed from office and expelled back to his hometown. The era of Gao Qiu's troubles in Tokyo was completely ended.
Another thing is that Wang Lin from the Shandong Martial Arts Examination was canonized as a male from Qinghe County by the officials, and he will take part in the current martial arts examination the next day.
In fact, many people know very well that Wang Lin's victory in martial arts and becoming the Emperor's disciple is a certainty, and there is no longer any suspense.
Master Li tossed and turned that night, unable to sleep.
Of course she was happy for Wang Lin to be ennobled, but as Wang Lin was about to be sent to Lijing as a disciple of the emperor and the top military scholar, either as an official, a general, or both, where should she go?
