Chapter 110 The loyal minister is still a good general
Wang Chengen sent Ding Yunyi out. Ding Yunyi thanked Wang Chengen again and again, but Wang Chengen said calmly: "Xiang Wen'en, you are favored by the emperor this time. Is it a blessing or a curse?"
Ding Yunyi was startled: "It is certainly a blessing to be able to gain the emperor's trust."
Wang Chengen smiled slightly: "When the emperor appointed Yuan Chonghuan, he received more trust than you."
This sentence made Ding Yunyi break into a cold sweat.
Yes, Yuan Chonghuan received much more trust than himself, but the result...
"Xiang Wen, remember one thing, don't be arrogant just because you have received divine favor. You must keep your tail between your legs and be cautious and cautious no matter how difficult it is." Wang Chengen carefully warned: "Always be aware of yourself, you are just a guard, someone bigger than you.
There are a lot of people out there. Don’t bring trouble by words or bring trouble by actions. Think twice before doing anything!”
"Yun Yi must keep it in mind." Ding Yunyi said gratefully.
Wang Chengen suddenly asked: "Originally, the Sa family should not have said these words to you, but do you know why the Sa family said these words to you again?"
Ding Yunyi hesitated: "Is it because Yunyi saved my father-in-law's life?"
"No, no, you are wrong." Wang Chengen shook his head: "The Sa family only has the emperor in their hearts. You have saved the Sa family a thousand times, ten thousand times. These words the Sa family would not have said originally."
Ding Yunyi was even more confused. If this was the case, why did Wang Chengen continue to talk?
Wang Chengen sighed softly: "The Sa family's cause is entirely for this court. Your discussion about the sea crisis just now moved more than just the emperor? Even the Sa family was moved by you. You are brave and knowledgeable, and I am incomparable.
There are so many good generals. So the Sa family would also like to remind you that the Sa family does not want the Ming Dynasty to lose such a future general like you!"
Ding Yunyi nodded silently. There was only one person in Wang Chengen's heart, and that was Chongzhen. Everything he did was for Chongzhen.
"Loyal ministers are good generals, loyal ministers are good generals." Wang Chengen repeated these words: "Loyal ministers are ranked before good generals. It can be seen that loyal ministers are far more important than good generals. Xiang Wen, the Sa family knows that you will definitely become a good general, but are you a loyal minister?
I no longer know."
Ding Yunyi didn't answer, but he was thinking with his own mind. Will he be a loyal minister in the future?
The Ming Dynasty will die soon, and there is not much time left for you. When that day really comes, what choice will you make?
Should he live and die with the Ming Dynasty, or simply drift on the sea and become a free-spirited pirate?
Ding Yunyi couldn't answer himself at all.
"Xiang Wen, don't let down the Holy Emperor's expectations of you."
This is Wang Chengen's last and most solemn statement.
Two hours had passed since entering the palace and waiting for Chongzhen's summons until leaving the palace. Qin Yun and other brothers had been waiting outside anxiously, thinking that something had happened to Ding Yunyi.
When Ding Yunyi said that he had been promoted, everyone among the brothers was in high spirits and cheered. This trip to the capital was indeed a success.
But Ding Yunyi didn't feel happy at all. Wang Chengen's instructions to him were always swirling in his mind.
"Young Master, Young Master!"
Suddenly a voice sounded not far away, and then a young man about the same age as Ding Yunyi ran over excitedly: "Young Master, you are back."
"Who are you?" Ding Yunyi looked confused.
The young man looked very surprised: "Young master, you don't recognize me? I am your book boy Jiang Qi!"
"Ah, yes, you are Jiang Qi." Ding Yunyi recognized his book boy and patted his head: "I was just summoned by the emperor. I was so frightened that my mind is still in chaos."
"I know, I know." Jiang Qi said excitedly: "The master was like this back then. When he was summoned by the emperor for the first time, I heard that he was covered in sweat and he didn't even recognize the way home."
After finally getting over it, Ding Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief: "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Qi suddenly became excited: "My master and his wife knew that you had come to Beijing and were summoned by the emperor. They were very happy. They had been waiting there a month ago. As soon as you entered Beijing, the king and the father-in-law sent someone
When we came to report to our house, the house became very lively, and my wife specially called my eldest uncle and second uncle here, and asked me to stay here to guard her."
He spoke very fast, and Ding Yunyi was stunned for a moment by what he said, but fortunately he understood it.
"Let's go quickly, I'm afraid the master and his wife are impatient to wait." Jiang Qi urged repeatedly.
Ding Yunyi was not in a hurry to leave: "I'm bringing a few friends with me. Is there a place at home to stay?"
Only then did Jiang Qi notice Ding Yunyi's companions. When he saw Ye Dahai's appearance, he was frightened and shrank towards Ding Yunyi in fear.
Ye Dahai didn't take it seriously and smiled: "Boss Ding...ah, no, Ding Shoubei, your family is reunited today. We'd better not join in the fun. Let's find a place to stay first.
Let Ah Hu tell you where we will live tomorrow."
Ding Yunyi didn't force himself and nodded.
Jiang Qi heard it and shouted excitedly: "Ding Shoubei? Young Master, have you been promoted again?"
"Let's go, we'll talk about it when we get back." Ding Yunyi cupped his hands and parted ways with his companions for the time being.
Jiang Qi originally prepared Jiaozi, but Ding Yunyi did not go to Jiaozi and asked Jiaozi to go back first. He took the horse and walked towards home with Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi was extremely excited and kept chattering: "Young master, can you ride a horse now? I remember that you refused to learn to ride a horse no matter what, and the master punished you severely for this. Everyone in our family knows that you are here
Fujian is so majestic that one person killed dozens of pirates. My wife was surprised and happy. After the master returned to Beijing according to the order, my wife quarreled with him several times, insisting that he find a way to transfer you back, but the master
Just refused to..."
With such a person accompanying me on the road, I didn't feel tired at all. Ding Yunyi and Jiang Qi were similar in age, and they could talk well. He was thinking about the "home" he had never entered before, and slowly took words from Jiang Qi's mouth.
.
Jiang Qi had no scheming. He just said whatever Ding Yunyi asked. Less than half the way, Ding Yunyi had already understood the situation in his "home" clearly.
His "mother" Ding Chenwanhe was actually the daughter of an official, and later married Ding Yuanzhao. One of his two sisters was named Ding Biwei, and the other was named Ding Biyue... The eldest sister already has a son, and so does the second sister.
Several months pregnant.
Ding Yunyi felt relieved now. Under these circumstances, he didn't have to worry about admitting the wrong person when he entered the house.
"Young master, we are home."
With Jiang Qi's cheers, Ding Yunyi finally returned "home".
