Dajin royal family

Chapter 153 Wang Ling
"Wait a minute!"

A voice suddenly came out from the inner hall, and then a man dressed in fine clothes came out slowly from the inner hall and entered the eyes of everyone. When he was young, he was also a handsome niche.

Seeing this person, Liu Yansun's face became more relaxed, not as rigid as when he faced Wang Xun just now, he explained in Jiang Chengxiao's ear: "This person is Wang Ling, the fourth master of the Wang family, and he is easier to talk to than Wang Xun. Can become."

Liu Yansun himself knew very well that he did not have such a background as the Wang family. If Yang Shuai was really defeated in the end because of logistics problems, he would never escape when the court liquidated him. After all, who told Yang Shuai to send someone to ask him for food? It's over.Therefore, he is now doing his best to help Jiang Chengxiao and his party get food.

In other words, it was the Wang family who were going to bleed food.He was very happy to see the Wang family suffer once, but he felt uncomfortable when he thought of the face of the Wang family at the beginning of the year.

Wang Xun was very upset when he saw his fourth brother coming out and interrupting him, but he couldn't get angry because of the presence of outsiders, so he calmed down, "What's the matter with fourth brother?"

Wang Ling first smiled and nodded at Jiang Chengxiao and the others, then bowed her hands to her second brother, and said, "Second brother, the [-] shi of grain you mentioned is new grain, do you remember that our family still has [-] shi of old grain?" The food is hoarded in Qingyuan County, since the imperial court needs it, we should take it out to alleviate the urgent need."

Wang Xun frowned subconsciously. He was left by Wang Yi in Taiyuan to take care of family affairs. Naturally, he knew how much food the Wang family still had, but he didn't intend to lend it to the court at all. Fa Jiang Chengxiao and others.

Wang Xun looked at Wang Ling, and Wang Ling shook her head without moving her expression.There is naturally a tacit understanding between the two brothers, Wang Xun said: "Qingyuan County has been entrusted to you to take care of, I don't remember very clearly. But these two generals came to my Wang family aggressively to ask for food. What kind of old food will you ask for?"

His voice was still stiff, and he looked at Jiang Chengxiao who had already got up, "This little general is already preparing to go to Wenxi Pei's house to borrow food. I'm afraid he might not like our old food."

With a faint smile on Jiang Chengxiao's face, he said: "What does Mr. Xun say, the Wang family is the pillar of the imperial court, how dare I act wild here."

Speaking of this, Jiang Chengxiao sighed heavily, and said: "Mr. Xun doesn't know something. The frontline soldiers are fighting against the brutal Turkic people. If the logistics and food can't keep up, wouldn't it be cold for the soldiers. The soldiers don't care whether it's old food or New food, as long as there is a bite to eat, the soldiers will desperately resist the Turks, protect the people of Taiyuan, and protect the Great Jin."

Wang Xun secretly scolded this hussar general for being shameless, he clearly wanted to go to Chang'an to tell the emperor about it, and even took the Pei family out to give him eye drops.Hearing that there was grain at this moment, his face changed immediately, and he immediately praised the Wang family as the pillar of the court. He really hadn't encountered such a brazen person in more than ten years.

Wang Ling smiled and said: "Little general, don't need to say too much. The reason why my brother said that the Wang family only had [-] shi of grain was because I was in charge of Qingyuan County, so there was some misunderstanding between the two sides. Now the misunderstanding has been resolved. It's nothing. Just like the little general said, the Wang family is the pillar of the court, and since the court is in trouble, the Wang family will naturally not stand by."

Listen, this consciousness!

Jiang Chengxiao's sense of Wang Ling is dozens of times better than that of Wang Xun, and at least he has a good attitude, without the domineering appearance of a wealthy family.

"So, thank you very much."

Wang Ling said: "The little general came all the way from afar and he must have not eaten yet. I asked someone to prepare some simple tea and light meals in the side hall. If Master Liu and the two young generals want to use some, I will send someone after they are full of wine and food." How about following the little general to Qingyuan County to collect food?"

Jiang Chengxiao shook his head, and said: "The situation on the front line is anxious now, we can't procrastinate here, please forgive me."

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll go down and make arrangements, and the little general will wait a moment."

After saying that, Wang Ling gave Wang Xun a look, the latter understood, got up and left with Wang Ling.

After the Wang brothers left, Liu Yansun took a sip of tea in a comfortable mood, and said slowly, "General Hushi, the old man is right, isn't this Fourth Lord Wang more eloquent than Wang Xun?"

Now that the matter is done, he, the sheriff of Taiyuan, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.Today's young people can't discuss anything, and they have to go to Chang'an to tell His Majesty, what a bad habit.

"It's really easy to talk." Li Yaoshi, who hadn't spoken much, said, "Compared to his elder brother, this Wang Siye really has vision." He never understood why the Wang family didn't give out food since they had food, and the court didn't want to return it to you. , Moreover, if the Turkic people are really allowed to enter Taiyuan, how can your royal family please?

Of course, he didn't dare to think about these things in his heart. He didn't have the confidence of Jiang Chengxiao's identity, and he brazenly borrowed the emperor to exert pressure.He has always kept a respectful distance from a top-notch family like the Wang family.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "It's really easier to talk on the surface." After saying this, he didn't say any more. Now he just wondered if this was done on purpose by the Wang brothers. One made a red face and the other a bad face. food for them.

But now there is still food anyway, and old food is still food, as long as it can be eaten.Otherwise, he can only come hard, and he can't really spend time going to Wenxi or Chang'an to file a complaint.

In the inner room, Wang Ling took out a box from the cabinet, opened the box, and there were more than a dozen copper keys inside. He reached out and took out one of them, put it in his arms, and then put the box back into the cabinet.

Wang Xun waited for a long time and didn't wait for his brother to explain why he borrowed food, so he asked: "Fourth brother, what is your plan? Although my Wang family is not short of that little food, there is no need to give them. Hmph , then Yang Taisu has always been at odds with his father, why should we lend him food."

Hearing this, Wang Ling sighed and said, "Second brother, we are not lending food to Yang Taisu, but to the imperial court."

"The court?" Wang Xun sneered, "Hey, Uncle Hong is still at home."

Seeing this, Wang Ling didn't care about his attitude, and said slowly: "Second brother, it is precisely because of this that we have to lend grain to the imperial court, and we even have to give the hundred thousand shi of grain directly to the imperial court. The Wang family a few years ago I went the wrong way, and now is an opportunity to make up for it.”

Wang Xun was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid that person will think that our Wang family has been subdued, and look down on us even more."

Wang Lingdao: "Second brother, let me tell you some news. A few days ago, my father sent a letter saying that Pei Yun was transferred back to the court to serve as the servant of the Ministry of Industry."

Wang Xun was startled, and said, "How can this work? Pei Ju is already the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and now Pei Yun is the servant of the Ministry of Industry. In the future, their Pei family will not be like that."

Wang Ling nodded, "That's right, in the future, the Pei family, Minister of State for Ministerial Affairs, is likely to occupy two seats. As the second brother said, Uncle Hong was treated coldly by the emperor because of the matter of offering the nest to the king. Our royal family has only father in the court. It is very hard to do it alone. I heard that there is a vacancy for the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry. I originally considered many people and finally decided on Pei Yun. If the Wang family can have more voices in the court, it may not be impossible to fight for this matter."

"Fourth brother, the Shandong gentry are one body, so it's inappropriate to forcibly divide each other." Wang Xun said hesitantly.

Wang Ling suddenly felt amused, and said, "Second brother, you don't even have confidence in yourself when you say this. Our family has become more and more depressed in the court because of the matter of Chaoxian King, while Pei's family is thriving. It is important to look up, now that Pei Yun has entered the Ministry of Shangshu, the momentum of the Pei family is probably going to be even higher."

"Originally, Nanpei, King of Northern Bingzhou, if our family doesn't make a statement and seize the opportunity, I'm afraid this situation will have to change." Speaking of this, Wang Ling sighed.

Wang Xun moved his mouth, suddenly thought of something, said: "The Pei family is so aggressive, shouldn't the Zheng family stop it for a while, isn't Zheng Shanyuan the only one in the Zheng family."

Wang Ling sighed, how come this second brother is better than this than that at this time, why not deal with his own affairs first.He had no choice but to say: "Second brother, don't forget that Zheng Renguo has already served as the prefect of a county, not to mention you don't know the relationship between the Zheng family and Shang Shuling King Zhao."
