reincarnated as king

"Brother, this is not good." Two short figures squatted under the eaves of a roof, one of them was about ten years old, and leaned next to the ear of the other, hesitatingly said, gently grasped and held One of his little hands.

The person beside him turned his head and grinned, his usually gentle and elegant phoenix eyes were full of cunning, he whispered: "It will be fine, second brother, let's just be careful. I haven't I’ve been to Wenyuan Pavilion.” He stretched his neck as he said, carefully observing his surroundings.

The young man grabbed his hand nervously, and tugged at the sheren clothing on his body, and the robe was dragged to the ground because it didn't fit well.I only heard the people around me counting in low voices: "One, two, three. Hurry up!", the young man grabbed his hand and immediately rushed towards the palace ahead.The child's eyes widened and his footsteps flew like flying. The two of them had just hidden in the next place when another group of patrolling guards with knives came over.

"Brother." The child cried with a mournful face, his palms dripping with sweat.The excited young man turned his head, couldn't help but patted his head, and said softly, "Don't worry, we'll be at Wenyuan Pavilion soon."

"If Father knows, he will, he will..." the child persuaded softly, but before he finished speaking, the young man took the lead: "I will bear it. Besides, if we change our clothes, they will not recognize it." Come out, the two people in the East Palace will not dare to say anything at this moment. Good Yuaner, just teach me to take a look, and then go back."

The young man looked around while talking, narrowing his eyes slightly, ready to lead the child to the next palace at the right time.In the East Palace not far from here, the door of the prince's study room was tightly closed. In the room that no one dared to enter under the prince's order, only two young eunuchs were blindfolded, stripped of their coats, and tied to chairs. .But the prince and the second prince who were supposed to be studying calligraphy seriously in the room were nowhere to be seen.

"Wang Shan, you really don't want to?" A figure stood by the table and asked another person who was wearing the same red official robe as him. According to the ribbons and patched clothes on the two of them, it was said that they were the third rank of the imperial court. civil servants.The person who was asked sat down without saying a word, held up a document that had been placed on the table, and half covered his face, as if he hadn't heard the other party's question in a helpless tone.

The person who asked the question seemed to be accustomed to his attitude, sighed and said: "If you don't want to be a minister, you can mention it to Your Majesty privately after the court. It's better than publicly refuting Master Yao and His Majesty face."

Wang Shan let him babble on, without raising his eyelids, he looked at the document to himself, and said calmly for a long time: "Your Majesty Yuan has no letter today?"

"...No letter yet." Bai Rui's eloquence was interrupted by him, and he replied subconsciously.He didn't realize what he said until after he said it, he couldn't help touching his nose, and said annoyedly, "Why mention him?"

Wang Shan raised his eyes from behind the document and stared at him for a while, until Bai Rui couldn't help but want to ask, but Wang Shan looked down at the words in his hand again, as if they were more attractive than him: " No wonder you are so free today."

Bai Rui's face became extremely embarrassed in an instant, and his whole body was as stiff as a piece of wood, as if he was about to turn into anger in the next moment.However, unexpectedly, he suddenly straightened his face and asked seriously: "Is it really so obvious?"

Wang Shan turned a blind eye to his question, which did not match his status as a cabinet scholar and third-rank court official of Zuodu Yushi, and continued: "Master Yuan has been in Liangzhou for less than a month, and there are [-] letters in total. One for Master Fang, one for Master Yang, and one for me. The remaining ten letters are all for you."

"I'm afraid it will become eleven now." He added steadily.I saw a gray-robed man with a familiar figure standing at the gate of Wenyuan Pavilion, handing something to the servant, who respectfully followed the instructions, and handed the letter in the hands of Bai Rui who was about to speak.Seeing this, Wang Shan shook his head: "Instead of caring about me, you might as well think about Master Yuan's poem about coming this time, how you can get along with me and go back."

Bai Rui didn't open the envelope, hesitated for a moment, and finally persuaded him with all his heart: "Forget it, when Mr. Fang comes to Wenyuan Pavilion later, you can explain it to him personally." He didn't mention whether Fang Jingxuan would Will ask, it seems that this is an inevitable thing.

Wang Shan nodded unhurriedly, concentrating on the memorial in his hand.

At the same time, beside a large table at the other end of Wenyuan Pavilion, two people were looking at the complete map of the Jin Dynasty spread out on the table. One of them had a short beard, and his eyes flashed from time to time. With a thoughtful look and an appearance of holding a wisdom pearl, it is Yang Zirong, the Minister of the Ministry of War.

The person beside him looked several years younger than him, his eyes were slightly empty, but he seemed to be wandering away.Yang Zirong said in a deep voice: "Ziqing, if you are tired, you can go and rest for a while."

Liu Zhen came back to his senses and couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Yang Zirong raised his eyebrows, and said casually: "Then think about the establishment of command envoys along the commercial road after the arrival of the Western Dupeng Dynasty."

Liu Zhen looked at him carefully studying the map. His resolute side face had a resolute and proud demeanor that ordinary people rarely see. Seeing him subconsciously rubbing the silk surface with one hand, Liu Zhen knew that it was Yang Zirong who fell into deep thinking. Performance.Yang Zirong has a natural enthusiasm for the frontier defense of the Jin Dynasty, and he seems to be born for it. The Nanyang Navy, the northern system, and the establishment of the vassal system from the western desert to the sea... Yang Zirong is behind all of this.

Even Bei Gongdi once praised him for his "extraordinary strategy, which is a blessing to the country".

"Tui Min, are you interested in the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Liu Zhen really wanted to ask such a straightforward question, but no matter what purpose or thought, he could only quickly suppress the doubts in his heart, unable to speak out.

"...that's Yang Zirong, that's Liu Zhen." The young man pointed out the identities of the people in Wenyuan Pavilion in a low voice next to the child, and the two of them sneaked under the window before they knew it, and opened their heads cautiously to look inside.

The young man added: "When the emperor went to court today, my father prepared the edict for Mr. Wang Shan to take over as the Minister of the Household Department. Who knew that just before the reading, Mr. Wang opened it publicly. He did not want to be the Minister, but was willing to come Yangzhou adjusts the affairs of the Jiangnan Economic Bank."

The 67-year-old Yao Tingqiu wrote a memorandum the day before yesterday, saying that he begged for the bones to return to his hometown, and returned to Xuzhou to entertain his grandchildren. Bei Gongdi persuaded him to stay and agreed, thus leaving the position of Minister of the Household Department vacant.And today, all the ministers and workers in the early court also saw that what His Majesty wanted in his heart was Wang Shanlai, the left servant of the household department, to succeed Yao Bingqiu.It's just that such an unexpected thing happened early in the morning...

The question now is not why Wang Shan insisted on refusing to take up the post of Minister, but who will be the Minister of the Household Department.After all, these are the six ministers of Zheng Sanpin, and there is no room for a day.The young man thought about it silently in his heart, and made a sequence. Except for Wang Shan, the Zuo Shilang of Hubu was a stickler for the job, and he was not competent. Then the next qualified servants would be a few servants, such as Yang Zirong.But is Yang Zirong willing to work in the Ministry of Household Affairs?

The young man, that is, Beigong Yuming, thinking of how his father left in a rage early in the court, couldn't help but want to know more and more how to resolve this deadlock.

All these thoughts flashed through Beigong Yuming's mind, and he continued in a low voice: "There were originally six academicians in the cabinet, because of the 'Yunjin Villa' mystery, Yuan Chong'an, Hu Qing of Dali Temple, was sent to Liangzhou, and now Mr. Wang also asked himself to let it go, so that only the four great scholars will be left..."

"It's not what I want." Everyone in Wenyuan Pavilion didn't realize that someone was eavesdropping outside the window, and Yang Zirong, who was looking down at the map, suddenly said something nonsensical.Liu Zhen glanced at him and fell into thinking again.

At this moment, Fang Jingxuan, who was dressed in a crimson official uniform, stepped into Wenyuan Pavilion, and there was nothing unusual about his calm expression.Coming here with him is Bei Gongdi wearing a golden dragon robe.Bei Gongdi sat on the front seat in Wenyuan Pavilion, with a calm expression on his face, but when he saw Wang Shan who came to salute, he still snorted angrily.

"Your Majesty." Fang Jingxuan softly shouted from the side, and quickly glanced at Wang Shan who was kneeling.

Bei Gongdi waved his hand: "Get up and answer."

Wang Shan received Fang Jingxuan's hint, although he was a little surprised that Bei Gongdi came here unexpectedly today, but he still knew the time and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty and dare not face the sky."

Bei Gongdi said coldly: "What is the crime?"

Wang Shan bowed his head and said: "It is my fault to displease Your Majesty's Long Yan and panic the adults."

"Oh?" Bei Gongdi raised his hand slightly, and Fang Jingxuan handed over the teacup. He took a sip of the tea, looked down at Wang Shan who looked down on him, and suddenly let go: "If Jiangnan Finance is entrusted to you, you have How sure are you of getting it done?"

Without hesitation, Wang Shan said: "I will guarantee that I will live up to your Majesty's expectations!" He suddenly hesitated and said tentatively: "Your Majesty... But you agree?"

Bei Gongdi looked at him up and down for a while, and said: "You insist on doing this, how can I force you." Before Wang Shan's face showed great joy, he snorted again, and said: "But do you know what crime you have committed today? Is there?"

"...Deceitful?" Wang Shan was a little puzzled.Although Bei Gongdi knew that his ignorant appearance was probably faked, he still said with a cold face: "You are not only the servant of the household department, but also the first president of the Central Bank of Dajin, you should know that you are University scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. Common people still have relatives and estrangements, and they know the difference between the five clothes. Although you are not a member of the royal family, above the court, the University scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion is my close minister, like my wings and arms Ordinarily, how could I break my arms and destroy my wings?"

Seeing Bei Gongdi's cold face but talking about it as if he was talking to his family, Wang Shan's heart was sore and hot, and tears were already rolling in his eyes.He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty—" He never imagined that he was so important and close to Bei Gongdi, and that emotion immediately swept through his whole body, and he felt that he dared not die in return... …

"I am furious today, not because you have abandoned your responsibilities and are unwilling to share the country's worries, but because you acted rashly without reporting it in advance. If I really blamed you, wouldn't it be self-defeating, and the courtiers would see it as a joke. "

In the middle of speaking, Bei Gongdi suddenly turned his head and asked sharply, "Who's there?!"

Two short figures half crawled and half ran into Wenyuan Pavilion from behind the corner, and stood upright with their heads downcast.Beigong Yuming patted the sheren robe on his body, knelt down to salute Beigongdi like flowing water.The second prince, Beigong Yuyuan, followed the prince tremblingly and saluted, and secretly looked around. The strangely silent atmosphere in Wenyuan Pavilion made his heart beat a little faster.I saw Bei Gongdi half-raised his hands, looking at the two people in a daze, and all the scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion also showed dumbfounded expressions, as if they still couldn't believe it. Juvenile status.
