Wan He was afraid that Yang Guang would really capture him and make him a eunuch in the palace, so he couldn't even explain what he said. Wan He's performance also made Yang Guang laugh, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. , Since you are willing to stay in Dongdu, it is easy to handle. Well, recently I have to transfer people from various departments to replenish the secretarial department, and there will inevitably be vacancies in other places. So, let me give you the title of Lord Master of the Ministry of Etiquette, Assistant Secretary. I will supervise the affairs of the Ministry of Etiquette from the Minister of Etiquette, but I have to tell you in advance that when you arrive at the Ministry of Etiquette, it will be fine if you work seriously. If you act nonsense, I will not be soft on you."
Wan He had never heard of this official of the Ministry of Rites, and he didn't know how big an official he was. But since it was the emperor who awarded him a reward, Wan He had to pretend to be happy even if he was just pretending. Immediately Wan He bowed to Yang Guang three times and shouted: "My lord, thank you for your kindness,"
Wan He didn't know the connection, but how could Wang Shichong, who was standing next to him, not know that the head of the Ministry of Rites, Jue Lang, was an official of the sixth rank. In previous years, most of the officials selected from Chunwei were reduced to standby officials and only a few were left idle. Some people are able to get appointments, and even if they are appointed, they are just petty officials with sesame seeds and mung beans, and they will not exceed the eighth grade at most. However, Wan He actually flew to the sixth grade in one breath, which is a solid third grade. The position, and it is still a powerful position like Shangshu Province, shows how much Yang Guang values Wan He. This is no longer the treatment of an ordinary favorite.
Wang Shichong secretly thought that if Wan He's status in the emperor's mind was so high, then he would have to reconsider his treatment of Wan He. After seeing Wan He stand up under Yang Guang's instruction, he also hesitated. Putting on a smiling face, he smiled at Wan He and said: "Master Hou, from now on, we will be ministers for one day, and we must ask Master Hou for more support in the future."
"I don't dare to take it, I don't take it." The person sent him a smiling face. Wan He naturally wouldn't slap him, so he also exchanged a few words. However, Wan He secretly muttered in his heart that this Wang Shichong had the ability to change his face. It's really amazing. When I saw how powerful this young master was, I came to fawn over him. Hey, he is truly a villain.
After temporarily establishing a good relationship with Wan He, Wang Shichong turned his head again, saluted Yang Guang, and said: "Your Majesty, please fulfill what I just said to your Majesty."
When Wang Shichong said these words, Wan He, who had just been immersed in joy, immediately felt as if someone had poured cold water on him. Only then did he remember the purpose of his coming to the palace this time. According to Wang Shichong, he had already asked Yang Guang to marry him. But he arrived at the right time and Yang Guang hadn't agreed yet. Wan He was anxious now, but in front of Wang Shichong, he couldn't directly say anything bad about Wang Xuanying. He could only watch and get anxious.
Yang Guang was also a little hesitant at the moment. Yuerong was his favorite daughter. Yang Guang was indeed a little reluctant to marry her off so early. However, Wang Shichong was also a loyal minister in Yang Guang's eyes. It was rare for Wang Shichong to propose such a proposal to him. A request that seemed unreasonable if he didn't agree to it. After thinking about it, Yang Guang was in a dilemma. He looked at Wang Shichong and asked: "Wang Aiqing, since you asked me to marry you for your eldest son, what about you, the eldest son?" ,"
When Yang Guang mentioned Wang Xuanying, Wang Shichong was calm and said: "Your Majesty, Xuanying is my son, so I'm afraid your Majesty won't believe everything I say. It's better to do this. Your Majesty Xuanying is here now." Outside the palace, I beg your Majesty to summon him, so that your Majesty can see with your own eyes what kind of person I am. I believe that by then, with your majesty’s wisdom, you will make an appropriate decision.”
When Yang Guang heard this, he understood the same truth. Since someone wanted to marry his daughter, he should see what his son-in-law looked like. Yang Guang immediately nodded and said to Zhang Huaian who was waiting outside the door: "Huaian , to convey my decree, Wang Xuanying, the eldest son of King Xuan Aiqing, enters the palace to meet the Holy Spirit,"
"I obey the order," Zhang Huaian saluted Yang Guang at the door, then turned around to carry out Yang Guang's order. Yang Guang turned his head again and said to Wan He: "It's just right, since you are mine Disciple, that Yuerong can be regarded as your junior sister. I also heard that you and Yuerong have a good relationship. You should also come and look after Yuerong."
"Princess, how can I dare to be the princess's senior brother? I am frightened." When Wan He heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart. Okay, I am worried that I have no chance to cause trouble. Let me check it now. If this young master Letting him pass would be a waste of Comrade Yang's hard work. But in front of Wang Shichong, Wan He certainly couldn't blatantly say that Wang Xuanying was wrong, so he had to think of a way. Thinking of this, Wan He said to Yang Guang: "Since your Majesty has an order, I dare not disobey it."
Yang Guang's arrangement made Wang Shichong suddenly have an inexplicable feeling that something was wrong. But before Wang Shichong could figure it out, Yang Guang asked Wang Shichong about the situation in Jiangdu again and again. Wang Shichong Knowing Yang Guang's temper, he naturally would not say unpleasant things to Yang Guang, so in the following conversation, Wang Shichong just talked about things like good weather, peace and prosperity for the country, and it seemed like he had made it up. It seemed so good that Yang Guang was in a better mood.
After nearly an hour, a burst of footsteps was heard outside the palace, and then, Zhang Huaian's voice came from the door: "Long live, this old slave has brought Mr. Wang's eldest son, Wang Xuanying,"
"Oh, then bring him in." Upon hearing this, Yang Guang was a little eager to see what kind of person Wang Xuanying was, and immediately waved his hand and shouted outside the hall.
Following Yang Guang's words, Zhang Huaian immediately led Wang Xuanying into the palace. Wang Xuanying was obviously a little timid when he met the saint for the first time. He was not as arrogant as when he met Wan He before. Every step he took, Wang Xuanying's footing changed. He was a little pretentious and walked cautiously. After finally reaching his father Wang Shichong's side, Wang Xuanying immediately knelt down towards Yang Guang and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Wang Xuanying, see my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live,"
"Well, you are Wang Xuanying, get up." Yang Guang squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Xuanying who was kneeling on the ground. He was very satisfied with Wang Xuanying's actions. He nodded and waved his hand to ask Wang Xuanying to stand up.
Seeing this situation, Wan He felt very bad. Why did Comrade Yang seem to have a good feeling for Wang Xuanying? This was really bad. If this continued, wouldn't Yuerong really want to marry? Wang Xuanying agreed. Thinking of this, Wan He knew that he could no longer remain silent like this. Wan He immediately smiled and said to Wang Xuanying: "Young Master Wang, we meet again."
To be fair, Wang Xuanying's appearance is still very good today. His hair is neatly combed and tied into a bun. He is wearing a moon-white long gown. He even has a layer of powder on his face, making him look handsome. It seems that Wang Shichong also knew that Yang Guang valued appearance, so he specially asked Wang Xuanying to dress up before entering the palace.
The anxiety in Wang Xuanying's heart had been shown before, but because his face was well dressed, he did not show any timidity. But because he was nervous, he did not realize that there was a person like Wan He in the palace, and Wan He fought with him. After greeting Wang Xuanying, he realized that Wan He was here. He was startled and couldn't control himself. He exclaimed: "It's you, why are you here?"
Seeing his son lose his temper, Wang Shichong also secretly screamed in his heart, but now in this palace, in front of the emperor, he could not reprimand him out loud, so he could only cough hard to remind Wang Xuanying, but Wang Shichong reminded him like this Wang Xuanying then remembered that he was still in front of the emperor. Immediately, Wang Xuanying was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat. He knelt down towards Yang Guang and shouted: "I'm sorry, your majesty, please forgive me."
Wang Xuanying suddenly shouted so loudly just now, which indeed made Yang Guang feel a little dissatisfied. He originally had a good impression of Wang Xuanying, but now it is much less favorable. However, since Wang Xuanying has already apologized, Yang Guang has to take care of Wang Shichong to some extent. He wanted to save face, so he didn’t say anything more, but his face became slightly gloomier and he said: “Forget it, get up, Wan He, have you known him before?”
Yang Guang didn't know the little thing in Wan He's heart. In his opinion, if Wan He and Wang Xuanying had known each other before, then he could know from Wan He what kind of person Wang Xuanying was. When Yang Guang asked, what kind of person was Wang Xuanying? For Wan He, that happened to be the ladder that was delivered to the door. Wan He immediately said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, in fact, I only recognized the prince and the prince yesterday. Yesterday, haha, last night, Mr. Wang took the prince with him. I came to visit the minister at his residence. The minister and the prince are similar in age, so we can get along relatively well."
Wan He said this, but Wang Shichong next to him showed doubts in his eyes. Wan He took the initiative to mention that he recognized Wang Xuanying, which shocked Wang Shichong. He thought Wan He would mention the conflict between the two on the street yesterday. As a result, Wan He pushed the time for the first meeting between the two to last night, which made Wang Shichong secretly relieved. But soon, Wang Shichong felt something was wrong again. It seemed that there was something wrong with Wan He's answer. So right place.
After hearing Wan He's answer, Yang Guang seemed to lower his head thoughtfully, but Wan He said again: "I have admired Mr. Wang for a long time, and I know that Mr. Wang has made many contributions to your Majesty. , is now stationed in Jiangdu, and is His Majesty's right-hand man, so I have always wanted to meet Mr. Wang, but I was worried that Mr. Wang would not want to see me in white, so I didn't take the initiative to visit, but I didn't expect Mr. Wang. I am really flattered that I would come to my home."
