A few days after the fleet left Yangzhou, Jin Wenchi's counterfeiting project was completed. Several carefully crafted documents were placed on the desk. Wang Yehao was amazed when he saw them: "I didn't expect that Mr. has such craftsmanship. It can be called a miraculous craftsmanship."
Ghost axe."
"Your Excellency, you are exaggerating." Jin Wenchi said this, but his body was very honest. He proudly showed his work to Wang Yehao, "The student's ancestors were in the business of mounting and rubbing, and he also learned a little furry craftsmanship before entering school. This
The paper is made from old letters brought by adults, framed and collaged, so the signatures and signatures are all authentic. The seams are creased so that no one but an expert can distinguish them. The handwriting on the document is made using a stencil.
"Every word of the method has its original text, only the beginning and end of the strokes are slightly connected."
After hearing this, Wang Yehao exclaimed: "Sir, you were really unworthy of your talents before."
"It's no big deal to make some documents. But according to the court regulations, the begging of a prince is related to the succession of the title. The document should be made in triplicate. Needless to say, the father and son need to keep one copy with the official. The three documents have been completed, and then
I wonder if you have any clever tips for warehousing?" Jin Wenchi asked a difficult question.
"Sir, don't worry about this matter. I have my own solution. This time, sir, you have done a great job." Wang Yehao is not too worried about this matter. With his fourth uncle's connections, if he can't handle this matter, how can he get away with it?
We have reached our current position. After discussing the matter of inheriting the title with Mr. Zhou, Wang Yehao had already asked Liu Zhao to use the Jinyiwei's secret route, and Fei Ge sent a letter to his fourth uncle Wang Xantong to express his feelings. Wang Xiantong agreed happily, and he replied to the letter the day before yesterday.
It was delivered, so Wang Yehao felt confident now.
"It's just a small skill, it doesn't matter to adults." Jin Wenchi said modestly, "Students often have doubts and don't know whether to ask or not."
"You and I are hosting the curtain, and we are one and the same. It doesn't hurt to ask, sir."
"Now that your Excellency has said this, the student has become rude. Students have always heard that those who do great things will seek defeat before they win. I wonder what your chances are of winning this time?"
When Wang Yehao was asked this question by Jin Wenchi, he couldn't help but feel confused. Indeed, if the demon's prediction was unreliable, he would undoubtedly die. But the recent events made him feel that he could take a gamble. After all, as long as he wins the bet, he will make a profit.
It is immeasurable. Wang Yehao thought for a while and felt that it would be better not to say anything about the unknown things, so as not to explain clearly: "I believe that to fight against the chaos, we need to gather knowledgeable people from both the government and the public to work together for the great cause.
, thought it would help.”
"What your Excellency said is true!" Jin Wenchi agreed, "If someone is not talented, I am willing to repay him with my own body and join in the righteous deeds!"
"Although it is a righteous act, we still need to be cautious about this matter." Wang Yehao laughed, as if he thought of something interesting, "I have a nickname of 'Shi Weng'. Sir, why don't you conceal your name for the time being?
This will prevent it from spreading outside and causing some trouble."
"That's what the Lord said." Jin Wenchi agreed, "Since the Lord is a 'stone man', students should call him 'Jin Shi'."
"Okay, why don't you just call me Taoist Jinshi? It's easier for people from outside the area." Wang Yehao said.
"It all depends on the arrangements of the adults!"
After arranging the Jinwen Pond, Wang Yehao summoned the official again and told him: "The boat should go slower and more safely."
He deliberately set the date of his arrival in Beijing at the beginning of August, so as to save the effort of dealing with the eunuchs due to the unclear situation after returning to Beijing. If Mr. Zhou's prediction comes true this week, and the new king ascends the throne, he will be able to eliminate a lot of problems.
; If the prophecy fails, he has also made arrangements: as soon as Liu Zhao receives the secret letter, he will silence Taoist Hearthstone and his disciples, and then also silence Jin, Wei and the two maids, so that there will be no future troubles.
After Jin Wenchi left, Wang Yehao handed two of the documents to Wang Liang and told him: "You must take a small boat and go north quickly, take more boatmen with you, and travel day and night. The documents must be handed over to your fourth uncle in person."
"Young man, go right here!"
"Also, try to see if there is any way to trust the palace. There are always some young eunuchs who are hanging out in the market. Make friends with them." He continued, "After getting to know each other, I tried to get Concubine Tian on the line. I said it was her natal family's old relationship.
.Don’t be stingy with money, any money you have in your house can be used, there is no upper limit this time.”
"I understand, little one." Wang Liang couldn't help but be happy when he heard about such a fat man.
"You must be quick!" Wang Yehao emphasized again with a serious expression.
This year's winter was extremely cold. Wang Yehao was sitting alone in the warm pavilion warming himself by the fire. Snowflakes were still falling intermittently outside the house. When the news came last month that the nine thousand year old had hanged himself, Wang Yehao was no longer surprised. Since the death of the late emperor on August 11
Later, Wang Yehao believed that the immortal's prophecy would come true. Then a series of events such as King Xin ascended the throne, named Chongzhen, deposed Wei Ni, etc., further strengthened Wang Yehao's confidence.
Looking back on the turbulent political situation in the past six months, Wang Yehao is very glad that he made the right bet. Although Wang Yehao had little interaction with the Donglin Party before, relying on the solid foundation supplemented by spending money along the way, the relationship is still good now.
Well maintained.
Today's Holy Emperor is not only re-examining the unjust cases committed by the eunuchs when they were in power, but also rehabilitating many officials who were excluded and suppressed back then. Judging from the current trend, it is a certainty that the Donglin faction will take charge of the court.
Wang Yehao, who has performed well recently and rescued Wei Dazhong's daughter, has naturally become a popular figure in the court. However, he is not active in the matter of promotion, but is very humble. It is not that Wang Yehao is humble, but that he knows clearly
I realized that I was born in the same Jinshi family and was also a member of the "Zhejiang Party". In recent years, there has been quite an ambiguity between the Zhejiang Party and the Eunuch Party. Seriously speaking, there are many things that are entangled. If we take advantage of the turmoil in the court now and
If it rises too fast, it will not only leave people with the impression of speculation, but also arouse the resentment of a bunch of Donglin old people, which will not last long. It is better to accumulate food widely, build high walls, fully win over people's hearts, and then make efforts in the future when the situation is smooth.
Besides, with the help of the Hearthstone Taoist, I might be able to add Jiuxi in the future...
No, no, Jiuxi is too outrageous. This is the standard for rebellious ministers and traitors. He has no such idea. Then he will be granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and his wife will be granted the title of yinzi...
Speaking of this "immortal" (since Wei Zhongxian committed suicide, Wang Yehao has privately changed the demon into an immortal), he regretted letting him go to Guangzhou. Now that they have been separated for half a year, although there is news that he is safe, there is no letter about the specific situation.
Come.
Wang Yehao was vaguely uneasy. After all, Zhou Xianren hadn't said anything about the future direction of the court. If he accidentally made a wrong move, all his previous efforts would be wasted. Wang Yehao looked at the flickering charcoal fire in the furnace and muttered to himself.
: "It seems we still have to get Mr. Hearthstone back."
He had already sent people to Guangzhou to find Liu Zhao, and also sent people to Dongyang to bring the two maids to the capital. Based on his cold-eyed observations and reports from the servants and others, he knew that this time Mr. Zhou had a pure nature. Although he was a little lewd, he was not interested in himself.
It can be said that he takes extra care of women and cherishes them very much. These two maids have skin-to-skin contact with him, which is a suitable bargaining chip.
"Master, your fourth uncle sent someone to bring some pastries." Wang Liang walked into the Nuan Pavilion, interrupted Wang Yehao's thoughts, and handed a food box to the table.
"Oh, does anyone have a message for you?" Wang Yehao asked.
"I didn't say anything else. I just wanted to invite you to taste Guangli's specialties."
"Okay, go down and give me some money. Close the door. No visitors will be seen today."
After Wang Xiantong obtained the forged documents from Jin Wenchi, he quickly succeeded in smoothing the operation and received the title. Although due to material considerations, Wang Yehao was obviously not suitable to get too close to his fourth uncle who served in Jinyiwei. However, this did not affect the uncle-nephew at all.
The private relationship between the two has gone further. Wang Yehao told his fourth uncle that he sent people to Guangfu and wanted to use Jin Yiwei's line to wait for a response. Now that a food box has been delivered, there is obviously news.
Wang Yehao opened the food box and found several pieces of Cantonese-style walnut cake inside, but they didn't look fresh. Some of them were moldy. This snack was obviously not for eating. Wang Yehao broke the walnut cake into pieces and found that it was indeed among them.
A paper roll was found in one piece.
Looking at the signature, this is a message sent by Liu Zhao in October. He said that the two of them had not found the Australian and the Mirror of Heaven and Earth in Guangfu. At present, they have no clue to continue the search, but Mr. Zhou is unwilling to return to Beijing.
Wang Yehao checked several other pieces of Walnut Cake and found no other information. He carefully read the words on the paper roll and then threw it into the furnace mouth.
The situation in the government has changed so fast in the past few months. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, Wang Yehao would rarely have the opportunity to take the exam leisurely at home. For official matters, Jin Wenchi can basically rest assured. But the grasp of the general direction is indispensable for the "immortal"
", Liu Zhao was indispensable for the secret work. Now that the two of them were away, the work felt unsatisfactory. It was not until it was time to light the lamp that Wang Liang knocked on the door and asked if he wanted to have dinner, that Wang Yehao recovered his mind.
"Go and prepare a gift, and come with me to my fourth uncle's place tomorrow to say hello." Wang Yehao ordered, "Bring dinner over."
The next day, Wang Yehao came to Wang Xiantong's house early in the morning as a junior would do to meet his elders. He had gained a lot in Guangdong and Jiangnan, so he had a lot of money recently, and the gift list he prepared today was also very important - this person in
The fourth uncle who serves in Jinyiwei has now taken on the title of nobility, and will be asked to teach him more in the future. Human kindness must be done enough.
Since the great ancestor Hai Riweng won the first prize in high school, among the four generations of the Wang family who "keep upright and inherit the ancestors", their fame has become less and less prominent. Although Wang Yehao is only a fellow Jinshi, this is the only one among the generations with the word "ye".
Therefore, Wang Xiantong has always been very fond of this nephew. In addition, he recently helped himself obtain a title, so Wang Xiantong paid special attention to Wang Yehao's visit today and went to the foyer to greet him personally.
The walnut cake was sent yesterday, and I came back to visit today. Obviously, there was something to discuss. The two of them did not exchange a few words. Wang Xiantong understood Wang Yehao's eyes, led him inside to the study, and then retreated.
"My nephew wants to trouble my fourth uncle with something." Since it was a confidential conversation, Wang Yehao didn't beat around the bush.
