Chapter 158: The future of brothers gathering is promising
Chapter 158 Brothers get together and have a bright future
Except for Wang Qi, no one else has such a loud voice.
Dao Chi grabbed a bath towel and got out of the tub. Wang Qi had already entered the room, turned around the screen, and showed his white teeth at Dao Chi.
It has been a month since Wang Qi came to Beijing
Although Wang Qi still had a mischievous smile, there was still something different about her.
His childishness faded away and he suddenly became mature. The seventeen-year-old boy no longer looked as obese as he used to be. His face was handsome and his figure was tall. Anyone who looked at him would praise him.
Dao Chi looked at it but couldn't help but frown and said: "Why is Brother Qi so thin?"
Although Wang Qi has been much thinner than she was when she was a child in the past two years, her figure is still somewhat strong, but she has become much thinner after going out for a month. Looking at this posture, she needs to lose more than ten or twenty kilograms at least.
Otherwise it won't be effective.
Wang Qi raised his eyebrows, pulled up a chair and sat down, touched his chin and said: "Fortunately, brother, I had a lot of meat on my body earlier, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to withstand this." At this point, his face changed.
Still showing a bit of fear, he said: "Every time we travel three hundred miles and travel more than two thousand miles, we will arrive in the eighth day. When we arrived in the capital, my brother's thighs were all worn out and he couldn't walk without support. After entering the capital,
It's time to catch up with the martial law in the capital. I finally met my second uncle, and I know that His Highness is the heir to the emperor. I am also worried about whether your entry into the capital will go smoothly."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said: "Brother is such a generous person, but he has been having nightmares these days. He has trouble sleeping and eating, and his hair is falling out in handfuls. It would be better if His Highness is not involved in the imperial line. If His Highness is
If it involves the imperial line and we can't get to Beijing smoothly, how can we get a good trip to the palace? Even we people can't get a good trip."
Dao Chi gathered his clothes, nodded and said, "What Brother Qi said is exactly what he said. Everyone is on tenterhooks these days."
When Wang Qi heard this, she glanced at him and snorted: "Afraid? Why does Erlang have a double chin?"
The Taoist idiot spread his hands and said: "There is nothing we can do. Fan Yiren is afraid that His Highness will have a hard time on the road, so he thinks of ways to replenish His Highness on the way. My brother is borrowing all his money."
Wang Qi raised her chin and said with an expression as if she was looking at a child: "You are still young and don't know the dangers of this matter, so you carelessly gain weight."
The Taoist idiot said: "Seventh brother has seen His Highness?"
He and Lu Bing made a temporary decision to come to the inn from Guanyi. If Wang Qi had not gone to Guanyi, he would not have found it. When he went to Guanyi, he must have met the prince first, and the prince was also concerned about the news in Beijing.
As expected, Wang Qi nodded and said: "I arrived long before you entered the city. It happened that Mr. Lu was leading someone to inspect the post, so I said hello and went over to wait for His Highness. I just finished meeting His Highness and reported the news from Beijing.
I went to see Erlang, but when I heard that you were coming, I chased you."
Dao Chi doesn't pay much attention to news about the capital.
No matter how Yang Tinghe is currently in charge of the government, as long as the crown prince ascends the throne, the emperor will have the final say.
In other dynasties, the prime minister's power might be able to evade the imperial power; in the Ming Dynasty, there were Jinyiwei and Dongchang, who were directly subordinate to the emperor, whether they were Beijing officials or local officials, they could not be arrogant.
Dao Chi is concerned about his relatives: "Brother Seven, have you seen Brother Three these days? And Sister Shunniang and Sister Rongniang?"
Wang Qi nodded and said: "I've seen you all. I was so scared a few days ago that I just hid in my second uncle's house waiting for news and didn't dare to go anywhere. Later, the news that you arrived in Zhili came back to Beijing, and I felt more at ease, so I went to see you.
Sanlang and my two sisters." After saying this, he smiled and said: "By the way, Sister Shunniang has good news again, she will have a little nephew in August."
The Taoist Chi heard the words, but was not happy. He frowned and said, "So fast?"
Shun Niang's eldest son, Yuan Lang, is just over a year old. Shun Niang is four years older than Dao Chi and is only 18 this year. In the eyes of others, having two children every three years may be a blessing, but Dao Chi is worried that she will be injured due to frequent childbirth.
body.
Wang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I knew you would worry blindly. My brother had already asked someone to inquire about it. Sister Shun Niang had a natural birth when she gave birth to her eldest nephew. It has been more than a year since this time, so it has nothing to do with her health."
Dao Chi stood up, bowed solemnly and said, "I'm sorry for bothering Brother Qi."
Wang Qi snorted and said: "Who made me your brother?"
Seeing his high-spirited face, Dao Chi felt a little bitter in his mouth and whispered: "His Highness is about to become the emperor, is Seventh Brother happy?"
Wang Qi's mouth was about to burst to her ears, and she said proudly: "Of course I am happy. It is said that 'when one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven'. His Highness does not achieve enlightenment, but conquers the world. Just when I was reporting back to His Highness, I saw Your Highness
There is a roster at hand, which is the list of people who came to Beijing from Long. His Highness also specifically mentioned this matter, saying that even if I enter Beijing first, I will be listed on the roster. When His Highness ascends the throne, he will naturally reward everyone.
Long Gongchen. Among the current retinue, only 35% have ranks in the palace, and the rest have no rank. However, according to His Highness’s wishes, more or less rewards will be given. Rewards for officials of fourth rank and above will be given.
Half. The fifth and sixth grades account for 30%, and not many are below the seventh grade." When he said this, his eyes were already bright.
He was considered to be appointed as a pioneer official by the crown prince. Even though he had no rank when he was admitted to the palace earlier, if the crown prince really rewards the ministers of Conglong and rewards them based on their merits, he would be able to reach the top if he gets a fourth or fifth rank.
However, after feeling proud, Wang Qi thought of Taoist Chi and hurriedly restrained her smile and said: "Erlang, it stands to reason that since you and Lu Bing are His Highness's attendants, they should be on the list of awards. However, looking at His Highness's intentions, he intends to fulfill your wish and wants to give you a gift."
You and Lu Bing are studying in the Imperial College. After all, you and Lu Bing are still in the same grade. As a result, when the officials are ennobled, you two will not have a share. If you really want to re-establish the officialdom,
If you want to make great achievements, it is better to take the imperial examination and serve as an official."
Dao Chi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Seventh Brother, I won't feel resentful because of this."
It was the list that he had drawn up after looking at it, and he also put forward corresponding reference opinions. For example, he gave some small suggestions on how to deal with the Jiang family. As the eldest son's eldest son, the Jiang family also had some popular ones come to Beijing with His Highness this time.
, are the prince's uncle Jiang Qingshan and Jiang Qingshan's two cousins Jiang Kang and Jiang Shou.
It goes without saying that Jiang Qingshan, as the maternal wife of His Highness, cannot escape a title. The prince is unwilling to place the favors of other members of the Jiang family on Jiang Lin.
Obviously, the prince still doesn't have any good impressions of Jiang Lin, his direct cousin.
Dao Chi took the initiative to mention Jiang Kang and Jiang Shou. These two brothers were in the military. They had worked in the Yiwei Department of the Royal Palace for several years and were very peaceful. If Wang Qi hadn't gone to the Yiwei Department, he would have become familiar with them there.
They didn't even know that they were cousins of the princess. Compared with Jiang Lin and Jiang Feng, who were born in the palace, raised in the palace, and domineering in the palace, these two brothers were a little too honest.
Their late father was the princess's biological uncle and brother. When the prince and princess became feudal lords, he followed him out of the capital. But with the princess's biological brother in front of him, this princess's uncle and brother seemed unknown. After his death, the two of them left the capital.
Although the son also worked in the palace as an official, he did his job honestly and did not show off in the name of the princess's family.
When he was about to arrive in the capital, the prince was already worried that he would have no one to use. After listening to Dao Chi's words, he became interested in brothers Jiang Kang and Jiang Shou and made a special trip to summon them.
Jiang Kang was about thirty years old and Jiang Shou was twenty-five or six years old. Neither brother was a talkative person. The former wore the general flag left by his biological father, while the latter started as a school captain because he had stopped bandits last year.
The meritorious service was accomplished and the general flag was raised.
When the prince saw this, he was very satisfied.
Whether it's from the other person's grade or blood relationship.
Moreover, by praising these two people, he could explain it to the princess.
After Wang Qi and the Dao Chi brothers said this, and Wang Qi had already said many things in front of the prince before, he felt his throat was dry and said: "Erlang, where's the tea?"
Only then did Dao Chi realize that tea had not been served yet. Fortunately, there was still warm tea in the teapot, so he poured Wang Qi a cup.
Wang Qi ate it in two bites and asked for another cup before she felt her throat felt better.
Seeing that the Taoist idiot still had his hair disheveled, he said: "Go and clean up quickly. My second uncle is here too. My brother will take you over to meet him."
Dao Chi raised his eyebrows and said, "Seventh brother reported it in front of His Highness?"
Wang Qi narrowed his eyes, nodded, and said with a smile: "The second uncle has benefited from us this time, right? Others want to see you, the most valued 'attendant' of the prince, but they can't do it; the second uncle has taken advantage of us.
The benefits of elders are so good that we can deliver them to your doorstep."
Wang Qi's whole body was filled with joy. Dao Chi wanted to mention that the three princesses would confer the title of princess, but he still couldn't bear it and swallowed his words again.
After Dao Chi dressed neatly, he followed Wang Qi out of the house.
Standing in the corridor of the inn, he felt a little strange.
Lu Bing's room was right next to his, but there was no movement at all. With Lu Bing's temperament, he would have come out to greet Wang Qi if he heard Wang Qi's movement.
Thinking of this, he knocked on the door next door. What came out was not Lu Bing, but a servant from the palace who was serving Lu Bing. He yawned and whispered back: "Second Young Master Wang, our eldest Young Master is asleep."
After hearing this, Dao Chi slowed down and entered the house. He put Lu Bing on the bed and fell asleep soundly before coming out of the house.
Wang Qi followed Dao Chi and came in to take a look.
After coming out of Lu Bing's room, Wang Qi said: "Didn't you say that Lu Bing and His Highness were in the same car? Why are you so tired?"
The Taoist idiot said: "Lu Bing rode a lot in the second half of the journey. After all, he was young and he was in a hurry along the way."
The two brothers talked and left the inn.
This place is located on Guanyi Street, where all the royal guards live, and there are also soldiers and guards outside to enforce security.
The two of them showed their Wangfu waist badges and then passed through the checkpoint and exited Guanyi Street.
On the front street of Guanyi Street, there is an elegant room in a teahouse.
Not only Wang Qingjiang, the Minister of Punishment, but also Wang Xuan, the second son of the Wang family clan, are also waiting here.
Compared with other Beijing officials who were confused, the expressions of the uncle and nephew were much calmer. Although Wang Qi had been gone for a long time, they were a little anxious waiting, but at the same time they were anxious, and they couldn't help but have more expectations.
The later Wang Qi comes back, the longer he will stay with the emperor.
Even though I can't meet the successor emperor today, relying on the relationship with the emperor who lives in the same hometown and is an in-law of the royal family, the Wang family is already taking off...
