Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 4 Are these connections reliable? (Seeking collection, seeking recommendation, seeking follow-up reading)
When Wang Fuchen, the unfilial father, closed the door and scolded his son, Wang Zhenji and Wang Zhongxiao had already walked into Wang Zhongxiao's small study one after the other.As soon as the two brothers entered the door, the ignorant brother Wang Zhenji pointed at the nose of the taller brother and began to teach him a lesson.

"Second brother, tell me honestly, did you steal our father's bank note again? Who is the gambling debt owed this time? How many times have I told you, you have to learn something better, you can't Just like our father, he knows how to drink, gamble, and play with women!"

Being taught a lesson by this ignorant brother, instead of getting angry, Wang Zhongxiao became cheerful, and said to his brother with a smile: "Brother, you are wrong to say that about our father. Our father's problems are not limited to drinking, gambling, and playing games." Women are actually nothing to worry about! The biggest problem with that old guy is that he goes back and forth, also known as capricious! The name of Huo Lu Bu is not just because he looks like me!"

"Follow you?" Wang Jizhen looked at this nonsense brother, frowning, "Second brother, did you talk like that? That's our father, you should let him!"

"It's all the same," Wang Zhongxiao said to Wang Jizhen, "Anyway, this is a bad father! We can't just point at that father for everything, we have to improve ourselves. I took some money from the old man this time just to After returning to Beijing, go out and get a Lanling bodyguard. Brother, do you know how to do it? How much can you buy a Lanling bodyguard?"

"Buy Lanling guards?" Wang Jizhen stared blankly at his brother, "Brother, do you still remember our family's identity?"

"Of course I remember!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "Our family belongs to the Zhengbai Banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the division of the Han Army Banner, and the coated Han Army led by Qi Gu Zuo!"

Wang Jizhen nodded, and then sighed: "Brother, to be honest, if our family is in the White Banner Han Army, with our father's position and connections as the commander-in-chief, plus your martial arts and appearance, it is nothing more than choosing a guard. It's a matter of spending more money. But our family is a coater, and although the coater of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not an ordinary coater, it is not easy for a coater to become an imperial guard!"

"It's not easy?" Wang Zhongxiao asked, "Isn't our father a job? He's still a first-class guard!"

"That was promoted by the late emperor," Wang Jizhen said, "brother, you don't know how popular our father was in Beijing back then! Even the late emperor admired our father's bravery. If the late emperor is still alive, maybe he can promote you A bodyguard of Lanling. But now, Taishi Ao's trial is not so easy! He is the one who really has the final say among the six leading bodyguards and ministers, and he must nod if you want to be a bodyguard."

It turns out that Wang Fuchen was a "star" figure in Beijing back then!This back-and-forth Wang Fuchen rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty with the equally capricious Datong general soldier Jiang Yu in the fifth year of Shunzhi. ten months.

And Wang Fuchen became famous in this battle of great harmony, and won the nicknames "Horse Kite" and "Living Lu Bu".

Back then, Wang Fuchen was a ruthless man under Jiang Tuan's command. He often wore yellow clothes, rode a white horse, carried a spear, and led a team to charge into battle. He was a Manchurian warrior.In addition, his appearance is particularly outstanding, and anyone who sees him can't help but applaud.So when the Battle of Datong was coming to an end, Wang Fuchen already had countless fans. Even the coach of the Qing army, Azig, became a fan of Wang Fuchen. slaughtered.

Later, Azige fell from power, Wang Fuchen was implicated, and was demoted to the internal management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a slave.But he was soon picked up by another super fan of his, Emperor Shunzhi, and served as the first-class bodyguard in the identity of Zhengbai Banner Coating the Han Army.

Later, Shunzhi asked Hong Chengchou to lead Wang Fuchen to the southwest to make meritorious service and got a general officer.It's a pity that Emperor Shunzhi died of smallpox within a few years. Without this big backer, Wang Fuchen could only follow Wu Sangui in Yunnan.

Wu Sangui treated Wang Fuchen very well, and let him be the right-wing army in Yunnan, and let him be stationed in Qujing, the portal of Yunnan with relatively rich oil and water.But Wang Fuchen is not from the Pingxi Palace after all, he is a coated Han army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was born as a royal guard. He is a slave of the emperor!
Wang Zhongxiao also knew that the young hero in Beijing was also a "little fan" of Wang Fuchen, and he would not let Wang Fuchen stay comfortably in Yunnan.Moreover, that little emperor will definitely need a "little living Lu Bu" to help him deal with Manchuria's No. [-] Batulu in the near future!

This is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step, never let it go!

When Wang Zhongxiao made up his mind to help Kang Mazi beat Oboi, his brother Wang Jizhen sighed suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Brother, brother, I will show you a way out!"

"Okay, okay!" Wang Zhongxiao put on a smiling face dedicated to a good brother, and looked at Wang Jizhen, "Big brother, you are really my good big brother! If my little brother wins the emperor's favor, I will never forget you. "

Wang Jizhen smiled gratifiedly, and said, "We are brothers, and we should support each other." He paused, then lowered his voice, looking very mysterious, "This door. Do you know Nalan Pearl?"

"Nalan Pearl?" Wang Zhongxiao's eyes were round, "Is he familiar with our father?"

"Not familiar." Wang Jizhen shook her head.

Wang Zhongxiao was a little disappointed, "Not familiar with him? Then why do you mention him?"

Wang Jizhen giggled: "But our father is very familiar with Nalan Mingzhu's wife!"

"Nalan Mingzhu's wife?" Wang Zhongxiao was taken aback, "She and our father are..."

"She is our father's old master." Wang Jizhen whispered, "Mingzhu's wife is named Wu Linzhu, and she is Heshuo Gege from the old Prince Ying's family. I think our father used to be with this old prince when he was the guard of the old Prince's palace. Ge Ge knew each other. Later, when something happened to the old Prince Ying, our father still did not forget the old master, and often walked to Ge Ge to comfort and enlighten Ge Ge."

Wang Zhongxiao always felt that something was wrong, "The old man still lives like Lu Bu and still doesn't forget his old master. Is this way reliable?"

Wang Jizhen nodded repeatedly and said: "It's reliable, it's too reliable! My brother, I'm your own brother, and I can't fool you! After you arrive in Beijing, go to Mingzhu's mansion to meet Gege. You can't be wrong."

"It can't be wrong? This He Shuoge is not in power, can her husband Mingzhu listen to her?"

"Of course," Wang Jizhen said with a smile, "Who doesn't know that Mingzhu is afraid of his wife? Being such a big official, there is not even a concubine in the family, not even a decent-looking maid!"

"Okay! I'll listen to you!" Wang Zhongxiao pondered for a while, and then asked, "Brother, do I only have a thousand or two hundred taels enough to buy a Lan Ling guard? How about you lend me some more so that I can get the little emperor?" Just be greedy a little more, double it, no, pay it back ten times!"

Wang Jizhen smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry about money. Although your brother and I don't have much savings, I know how to make money."

"What way?"

"After you meet Heshuo Gege, Master Yu will naturally tell you where to borrow loan sharks."

"What? Loan loan shark?" Wang Zhongxiao became anxious when he heard that, "Brother, aren't you cheating me?"

Wang Jizhen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as you gain the emperor's favor, you don't have to pay back the usury at all."

"No need to pay back?" Wang Zhongxiao was taken aback again.

"That's right," Wang Jizhen said with a smile, "you don't have to, as long as you take some of them with you when you are released as an official in the future! They are all experts in making money, so you can't go wrong."

Wang Zhongxiao immediately understood what was going on with this business of borrowing money to buy officials. This is an industrialized operation of corruption and bribery!
This is really corrupt!Wang Zhongxiao thought to himself: Wang Jizhen is a penny-pinching elder brother, it seems that I can only join forces with those moths of the Qing Dynasty. Alas, this is also for the country and the people!

"Okay, that's it!" Wang Zhongxiao gritted his teeth, "In order to serve the Qing Dynasty, and to protect the emperor, borrowing some usury is nothing!"

"By the way, this is a loyal minister!" Wang Jizhen picked up Brother Thumb and said, "Brother, you continue to work hard, brother will go back first."

"Brother, go slowly."

"No, no, no."

"What? That little bastard also wants to be a royal guard?"

"Yes, Dad, it seems that the second brother is really sensible."

"Hehe, I am sensible, and I know that I must be loyal to the emperor and patriotic!"

In the inner study, Wang Fuchen finally smiled after listening to the report of the eldest son Wang Jizhen.It is a good thing to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic for a son to steal my money to buy an official. Can a father be unhappy?
Seeing that her father was happy, Wang Jizhen also laughed, and asked, "Father, my son told him to walk the way of He Shuogege after he went to Beijing. Do you think this way can work?"

Wang Fuchen stroked his beard, pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "It's a bit difficult for the coater to be a bodyguard. It needs to be ordered by the emperor or promoted by Grand Master Ao. Mingzhu can't do it well. He can at most give it to the old man." Second, arrange a Baitang'a with a better seat, and then promote the post."

"Then what should I do?" Wang Jizhen glanced at her father, "Father, do you have any other options?"

Wang Fuchen thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Yes! Today Lu Zhifu told me that your second uncle Wu will go to Beijing to do business in a few days, maybe you can follow the prince's way and let the second son go to Beijing with him, to Beijing Afterwards, I will ask my son-in-law to come forward and recommend the second child to Grand Master Ao. With the appearance of the second child, maybe he can fall into the eyes of Grand Master Ao, and he may lose his future if he follows Grand Master Ao in the future."

Wang Jizhen nodded and said: "Father is still thoughtful, it's much better to hang out with Grand Master Ao than to be a bought imperial guard."

Wang Fuchen said: "Boss, you go back and prepare. Tomorrow, we will take your younger brother to Wuhua Mountain to meet the old man Pingxi Wangta. Although the second child is an ignorant and rebellious son, his appearance, martial arts and courage are all up to me. .If you can get the support of King Pingxi and Grand Master Ao, you will definitely be able to achieve great success in the future."
