"Oh, you southern barbarian!" A local scholar from Tokyo, wearing a splendid cotton robe, picked up the wine cup, took a sip, curled his lips, and said disdainfully.
"Hey, Brother Tian, why bother getting angry with a bunch of successful villains!" Another person at the same table raised his glass and touched it to the wine cup of Mr. Tian, smiling and comforting him. He turned around and took a look,
Wang Jiangong, the person at the table, smiled and shook his head and said this. However, the contempt in his eyes was undisguised.
What they said here naturally attracted the attention of Wang Jiangong and others.
Hearing these words with obvious sarcasm, Wang Jiangong's face suddenly darkened. He stood up as he spoke. Seeing Wang Jiangong's anger, the student from Jiangning at the same table hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold his shoulders and persuaded him: "Jiangong."
Brother, why do you need to be acquainted with them? Come on, let’s drink!”
Wang Jiangong shook off his companion's hand, his face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at his companion and said: "You have been out for a year, won't you even protect Jiang Ning's reputation? What you are doing is costing Jiang Ning tens of thousands of dollars."
Where is the student’s face?”
As soon as Wang Jiangong said these words, the people sitting opposite couldn't help but laugh. Even the students at the table frowned.
Although Wang Jiangong is somewhat talented, he is a bit mean and his reputation among Jiangning students is not very good.
And this person is a bit snobbish! When the same group of students came to Tokyo, he boasted on the road how influential the Wang family was in Tokyo. These words made the Jiangning students who were traveling with him feel a little uncomfortable.
After arriving in Tokyo, he left his fellow students behind. Carrying large and small bags, he went to visit officials who had some connections with his royal family. However, at that time, the dispute between the common people and the nobles had begun to emerge. Those poor families came out.
The officials did not want to stand out at this time. Therefore, after hearing that Mr. Wang's descendants came to visit, these officials just sent out housekeepers to receive them politely. Moreover, after the reception, the housekeeper
They did not accept Wang Jiangong's generous gift. They just said that now His Majesty severely punishes officials for accepting bribes, so it is better to ask Mr. Wang to take the things back.
After all this evasion, Wang Jiangong went to the houses of more than a dozen officials without even seeing their faces.
In the end, Wang Jiangong returned to the Jiangning Guild Hall in despair. He lived with these Jiangning students who were traveling with him. Those Jiangning students saw that Wang Jiangong had very little money left, so they kindly joined in.
Some help him get through the difficulties.
Now, Wang Jiangong was named by the officials and became a minor official. Then he turned his face and refused to recognize him. He pointed arrogantly at this good friend who had helped him back then.
When these words were spoken, the companions around him were immediately chilled.
The student who pulled Wang Jiangong at first, after hearing this, looked at Wang Jiangong in astonishment, a forced smile appeared on his face, shook his head slightly, and let go of his hand.
Several companions beside him smiled at him and signaled him not to be in the same league as Wang Jiangong.
Wang Jiangong, who had already stood up and rolled up his sleeves, saw his companions around him, but instead of being angered by his words.
Instead, they all lowered their heads, clinking glasses with each other and eating wine. They suddenly became a little overwhelmed.
His original thought was to use his words just now to arouse the anger of his companions and teach these ignorant Tokyo students a lesson. This would also help to re-establish his prestige in the Jiangning student circle.
It’s just, it’s just, things don’t seem to be what I thought!
Wang Jiangong's eyes flickered, and he secretly turned his head to take a look at the Tokyo students who were staring at him. Seeing that they didn't look kind, he muttered a few times, and finally snorted and sat down.
"Tch, you're such a coward without eggs!" The young man named Tian across the table saw that the pretty boy was too timid to look at him, so he sneered and mocked disdainfully.
Hahaha!
The diners watching the excitement burst into laughter when they saw this scene.
"You!" Wang Jiangong slapped the table, stood up on the spot, and glanced at the laughing crowd around him. He turned his head and pointed at this person, trembling with anger: "Don't bully others too much!"
"So what if I bully you, pretty boy?" Mr. Tian stood up, stared at Wang Jiangong with an unkind look, and gave a sinister smile, the threat was self-evident.
"I, I, I am a seventh-level official appointed by the imperial court. You and I are the ones here!" Unfortunately, the other party was tall and powerful, and his companions didn't seem to have the intention to help. Wang Liye was still a little timid and did not dare to go up.
before fighting with the opponent.
However, he was unwilling to retreat like this. With a sudden change of heart, he immediately took out his status as a quasi-official, hoping to use his status to suppress others.
"Ha ha!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the young master named Tian was stunned for a moment, and then his guard suddenly raised his head and laughed. While he was laughing, he pointed at Wang Jiangong with disdain and cursed: "A big-ass official dares to show off!
This really makes me laugh to death!"
The scholar at his desk also had a sneer on his face. However, his words were even more vicious. He first glanced at Wang Jiangong, who had a pale face, then lowered his head, counted with his fingers, and said to himself.
He said: "I really didn't expect that there would be a seventh-rank petty official at the feet of the emperor. It's really ridiculous! Haha!"
Mr. Tian smiled and nodded, pretending to be surprised and said to Wang Jiangong, whose face was the color of pig liver: "Hey, my lord, please show me your official seal and let me see it. I am so big, how can I still do it?"
I’ve never seen what the seventh-grade official seal looks like!”
After hearing this, Wang Jiangong was immediately speechless.
He also just received a notice from the Ministry of Rites, saying that His Majesty appointed him as a seventh-rank official. Provided by Baidu Tieba!
After hearing the news, he was overjoyed, so he took a few companions with whom he could usually talk to each other and went out to drink and celebrate.
However, the official seal has not been obtained yet!
Now, these students from Tokyo suddenly asked to see his official seal. They immediately forced Wang Jiangong, who was about to use his status to pressure others, into a corner.
Wang Jiangong's eyes were blazing with anger as he stared at these people. His thin body was trembling rapidly.
In the end, he felt unsure, but he suppressed his anger. He pretended to be disdainful of being acquainted with you, and muttered to himself, "I disdain being acquainted with you." After saying that, he stopped and picked up the wine cup.
Pour and drink by yourself.
However, Wang Jiangong wanted to calm down the fight. It didn't mean that the other party wanted to see the two hundred and five men from the south acting so cowardly. The young master named Tian had a sneer on his face. He looked at Wang Jiangong with a smile and sneered::
"I think you are just a fake. Boy, you are very courageous. You dare to pretend to be a court official at the feet of the emperor. Humph."
He stared at Wang Jiangong whose expression changed drastically, smiled coldly, turned around and said hello to the door: "Come here, get this counterfeit to me!"
With a whoop, a group of servants in green clothes and small hats burst in outside the store.
Wang Jiangong's expression suddenly changed.
At the same time, the students from Jiangning who were sitting together immediately stood up and hid far away. They clasped their fists and smiled at Mr. Tian, indicating that they did not know Wang Jiangong at all.
The diners at the next table also stopped talking and laughing at this time. They all turned their heads and watched the show that was about to happen here.
After hearing the order from their young master, the servants accepted the order with a hehe, rolled up their sleeves and walked towards Wang Jiangong who was looking around for a way out.
"You, you, you are so courageous!" Wang Jiangong's expression changed drastically. As he backed away, he pointed at the group of people rushing over and scolded him.
At this moment, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Is King Jiangning Jiangong here?"
Following the voice, a father-in-law dressed in the attire of a eunuch from the Ouchi Palace came in holding a wooden plate in his hand.
In the imperial palace, the silver-haired emperor sat in front of his desk in the royal study room, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking at the memorial in front of him that had been rushed back from Taiyuan Prefecture eight hundred miles away. His gray brows were frowning.
After reading it deeply, he threw the memorial aside, leaned on the dragon chair, closed his eyes, and sighed. He knocked his fingers gently on the table and whispered to himself in a low voice: "Tujue, haha
, Turks!”
The guard general of Taiyuan Prefecture said in the memorial that a month ago, the Turks once again harassed the border and invaded the Datong Dynasty. The war at Yanmen Pass resumed. Three years ago, the covenant made between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Turks due to the marriage of Princess Ankang was once again singled out by the Turks.
aspect breaks.
The defender of Datong died fighting hard, and the Turkic cavalry invaded Datong, causing heavy casualties among the people in the city. The defender of Taiyuan had no choice but to order the people of Datong to move south.
Moreover, the Turks' attacks this time seemed to be different from those in previous years. After they captured Datong, a large number of elite cavalry went all the way south until they reached Yanmen Pass, where they stopped their offensive. Moreover, during this month, they
It has not retreated. It seems that it is going to launch a large-scale attack on Da Zhou!
Taiyuan's general was in dire need, so the Qing asked the court to increase troops to support Taiyuan.
Putting the memorial aside, the emperor rubbed his forehead with a headache.
In the past few days, the Turkic envoy was staying in the Cuihong Mansion in Tokyo. Before, he had requested to see the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. However, the emperor was worried about the common people and the gentry at that time, and the conditions proposed by the Turkic envoy were too high.
Too harsh. The emperor was furious and kicked him out of the palace. Provided by Baidu Tieba!
I didn’t expect that the Turks would move so fast!
After thinking carefully in his heart, the emperor opened his eyes. He turned his head again, glanced at the memorial, and said with a cold smile: "What a big appetite!"
The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes flickering uncertainly. He seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, his gloomy expression suddenly became a little depressed.
Alas, the country has no good general!
The emperor leaned back on his chair, sighed, and thought to himself.
However, these words only appeared in his mind for a moment. In the emperor's mind, he could not help but think of his eighth brother who had been idle for decades in Jiangning.
