Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 159
The thunder made a muffled rumbling sound, and it was not until enough strength was accumulated that they all burst out with a shocking sound.

Wang Xuan pointed at his son's nose and cursed, "Look for yourself, even God can't stand it!"

At the moment when the lightning suddenly lit up, Wang Qing saw the blue veins on Wang Xuan's face, and gradually realized that things were not as simple as his uncle Wang Junjiang told him.

"Uncle. Uncle. He. He didn't get along with him. I said it would be so serious!"

Wang Xuan poked Wang Qing's head, "He didn't say, so why don't you think about it?"

"What the hell are you pretending to be in your mind?! Have you forgotten what I taught you before?!"

Wang Qing anxiously defended himself, "That's my uncle after all, and I've thought about it carefully, what my uncle said is indeed true, not to mention that idiot Wang Shan, my son has long disliked him, let alone stupid, People are still very good."

"If this incident can be used to get rid of him this time, it would be a good thing!"

Wang Xuan trembled all over and said, "You!"

"You really are! Let me tell you what's good about you!"

"Your uncle is orthodox in the Wang family. It's because of his temper that my father and your grandfather didn't entrust him with the power to run the Wang family."

"Unexpectedly, in the end, I raised a good son for others!"

"Father! Don't say that."

"Do you think that uncle of yours would do your best for you sincerely?! He even plotted against his own grandson, and would dig his heart and soul out of you?! You thought you were smart, but I'm afraid you were too smart. Count the money for others!"

"He has long disliked us. Even if something good happens in the future, I'm afraid it won't be your uncle who promotes you!"

"But... Even if there is no uncle, we Chenliuwang family can still be afraid of such a trivial matter?!"

Wang Xuan saw that his son's face already had traces of time, but his brain was not half as good as his back then, and he sighed with deep regret, "Do you think we are still the old Wang family?"

"What's more, judging from the current attitude of the imperial court, Juntian is already the general trend, but at this time you dare to make a move on this kind of thing. You are not courting death, what are you?"

"If your good uncle was not afraid of this, why would he borrow your hand instead of going there himself?!"

"Now, I'm afraid I'm afraid..."

Wang Qing hadn't figured out what was going on, so he just asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid the Empress Dowager and Ji Wenxuan already have the intention to shake the family!"

Wang Qing looked at his solemn father in disbelief, "How could it be?!"

"Ji Wenxuan himself has an extraordinary background, why would he want to cut his own power and cut off his own way out?!"

"Besides, the group of local beetles outside the customs did not do anything to our family back then, and now the queen mother is in charge. A woman and an old man who is dying will not cause any big waves."

Wang Xuan glanced at his silly son, "You haven't dealt with Ji Wenxuan before, so you don't know how crazy this man is."

"How about the aristocratic family, what about the group of old officials outside the pass, in his eyes, Ji Wenxuan, it's just a pawn in his hands."

Wang Qing muttered, "I also want to deal with the prime minister, but how can I get this official position?"

Wang Xuan smiled wryly and waved his hands, "With your aptitude, it's hard to be the head of a county. Do you still want to fight Ji Wenxuan?"

"Now that we have reached this point, you and my father and son don't have to hide it, just have an open and honest talk."

"For so many years, you have been an official in Chenliu, and you have been confined to this three-acre land. You have always had resentment in your heart, and my father knows."

Wang Qing wanted to refute, but Wang Xuan continued, "You don't need to rush to defend yourself. If you don't complain, then I will think that you have been taken away."

"However, you have self-knowledge. You can be ambitious, you can be ambitious, you can have anything, but you also have to see if you have the ability to match it. If you don't have any ambitions, you will only be able to do it." Hurt self and others!"

"Father, I know you don't like to hear these things, but who in the world doesn't like high hats, how many people in the world can afford the high hats on their heads, and how many people can say such heartfelt words to you?"

"Good medicine is good for the disease, and good advice is good for the ear. Everyone knows these principles, but when things come to an end, there are very few people who can use these principles to alert themselves at all times."

Wang Qing fell silent, Wang Xuan knew that Wang Qing really listened to his words.

"Your uncle is also ambitious and capable, but he lacks in character. He dared to confront Emperor Jing, but he was demoted to a remote place for ten years. activities, he was transferred back to Beijing."

"Back then, he was only one step away from the position of head of the Wang family. If it hadn't been for the accident that almost affected the Wang family, my father would not have handed over the power of the family to me. Therefore, he thought that I robbed him for so many years. There are many words of resentment, and I will bear it."

"But I can't just watch him harm the entire Wang family again!"

Wang Qing was silent for a long time before asking, "But... a big mistake has been made, father, what should we do now?"

"However, son and son just changed some numbers, and sent people to pretend to be in various places. These are not serious crimes, are they?"

Wang Xuan is silent, he also wants to find someone to ask, what should we do now?
What revealed the news to him was his hidden stake in the court for many years. Judging from what this person said, the empress dowager and the prime minister might make some moves in these days.

But what do they want to do?

Reduction of power, division of land, murder, ransacking of homes, exile?
Thinking about the tragic situation of the Nanjing family now, everyone in Jiankang City is in danger, even Queen Wang, many of her relatives have not escaped the iron fist of Emperor Ming.

"How to do?"

Wang Xuan smiled wryly, "Didn't you think about this problem when you were doing those things?"

"Dare to take action on things that the Queen Mother personally approved, the Prime Minister kissed, and the Minister personally did, son, I really don't know what to say about you."

If it wasn't for someone's secret report a few days ago, he really thought that he would be able to live and live in this small courtyard for the rest of his life.

"I didn't think it was a big deal"

"The queen mother... and the prime minister, they shouldn't be there, right?"

"Father, don't you have a good relationship with the prime minister? If you go to intercede, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Wang Xuan was silent for a long time, "But if they want to use the Wang family to build their prestige, what's the use of the old friendship?"

Only now did Wang Qing fully wake up, his lips lost all color in an instant, and he asked tremblingly, "Father, you mean they want to kill chickens for monkeys to see. Take us as an example for others?!"

"How dare that old Ji Wenxuan!"

Wang Xuan slapped Wang Qing on the mouth, "The matter hasn't reached that point yet, what's the fuss about? Do you dare to call the prime minister by his name?"

"No! Father! He was able to become the prime minister back then. There were many objections from the people outside the pass. It was not because all the aristocratic families worked together to help him that he was able to have what he is today. How could he be ungrateful?!"

Wang Xuan sneered, "The words of shame between the aristocratic families can only deceive people like you."

Wang Qing clicked his tongue, "Isn't that so?"

"Don't worry about it." Wang Xuan glanced at the aggrieved Wang Qing, "Hey! The aristocratic family can make Ji Wenxuan sit on the prime minister's position with the combined efforts of the aristocratic family? How can you still sit there for so many years? You underestimate him too much. "

"Back then... Back then", Wang Xuan felt that he might not understand what happened back then with his son, "Forget it, it's right and wrong if you talk too much. In short, there is no kindness between many aristocratic families and Ji Wenxuan. I hope he can remember the old love."

"I don't know what tricks this person has come up with to deal with people."

"However, I always feel that we are not the only ones suffering."

Wang Qing was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Does that mean someone will suffer?"

After speaking, Wang Qing ate another thump on the head, "You should think about how to solve your own difficulties!"

"If the Empress Dowager and Ji Wenxuan really want to take you under the knife, I'll see what you will do!"

Wang Qing pursed his lips, "Then is the father going to let go and let his son be mermaid?"

"You are just my son, without me, there will be no one to take care of you."

"I knew it earlier!"

Before Wang Xuan finished speaking, Wang Qing took the initiative to answer, "I knew my son was such an idiot, and you would have strangled him to death. My son already knew it, but didn't you not know it earlier?"

Wang Xuan sighed, what evil did he do in his previous life to have such a son!
"Forget it," Wang Xuan glared at Wang Qing, his beard blowing two feet high, "What was the date of the farewell banquet prepared for the Empress Dowager?"

Wang Qing thought for a while, "Originally it was the day after tomorrow."

"Pass down the order, and the banquet will continue as usual."

"But the Queen Mother won't leave. How can I practice it?"

Wang Xuan rolled his eyes again in anger, "There must be other reasons for not practicing! Chen has so many happy events, so find one as an excuse, just invite me!"

Wang Qing clutched his bruised head and went out to arrange the banquet, but a flying fire fell and exploded just an inch away from his feet. He was so scared that he took several steps back, patted his chest and said in shock, "It seems In the future, we must accumulate virtue and do good deeds, this will really kill people!"

When Sheng Shaoqing received the invitation from Mrs. Wang, he was immediately taken aback by the reasons in the post.

Yesterday, during the thunderstorm, a flying fire fell in Wang's Garden. After the flying fire exploded, it left a huge pit on the ground. There was actually a jade pendant with engraved words on it. This jade was specially dedicated to the Queen Mother, so the event was held. Banquet to celebrate.

"Ha ha."

Sheng Shaoqing handed the invitation to Ji Wenxuan with a dry smile, and Ji Wenxuan silently took out another identical invitation from his sleeve, "This"

"They are not in a hurry to send us away, but they are in the mood to fabricate auspicious heavenly feast for guests here?"

Ji Wenxuan smiled, "Master Wang probably wants to test the Queen Mother's attitude."

"What kind of attitude can I have? If I make mistakes, I will be punished. This is the principle."

Ji Wenxuan coughed lightly, "Perhaps, I want to know the Queen Mother's attitude towards Wang."

"What do you mean?"

"They probably have already heard about the matter of the minister's preparations. With the example of Nan Jing before them, they probably thought that the queen mother would also set the family on fire."

Sheng Shaoqing laughed in confusion, "Aren't these people used to seeing strong winds and waves, why did a little disturbance scare them like this?"

"I just redefined the rules of the game, and I haven't said how to punish them, but they are still rushing to join in the fun?"

"Don't blame the Queen Mother, it's just human nature."

Ji Wenxuan stroked his beard, "Since the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the world has only been stable for a hundred years. If the aristocratic family doesn't make noise, the grass and trees will be full of soldiers. I'm afraid that when they die, they won't know who died."

"If I didn't know what the Empress Dowager thinks, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager would use the matter of equalizing the land to cut power and seize power, take the opportunity to suppress the family, win over the old ministers outside the pass, and dominate Great Liang."

Sheng Shaoqing:
These people have really rich imaginations.

"Then, should we go to the banquet or not?"

Ji Wenxuan smiled, "The Empress Dowager can go if she wants to, if she doesn't want to, she just pushes it away. In short, it will be Wang Xuan who suffers."

Ji Wenxuan laughed when he thought of the old man's wrinkled and worried face.

After so many years, Wang Xuanyin retired from Chen Liu and became the shopkeeper. Among the few people who were together in the household department, he was the only one who was still an official, so he couldn't help but feel emotional.

Sheng Shaoqing thought for a while, "Go!"

She wants to see what Wang Xuan, who has been cautious all his life, looks like, and he doesn't even make up stories like that!
"It's just that the queen mother wants to go empty-handed?"

Sheng Shaoqing:? ? ?

"He invited us to a banquet, do we have anything else to bring?"

Seeing Sheng Shaoqing's expression, Ji Wenxuan knew that she was going to go empty-handed, and said quickly, "The Wang family has such a chance, and the heavens are auspicious. This is a very auspicious sign. What does the Queen Mother not reward?"

Sheng Shaoqing gritted his teeth secretly, "He doesn't think he can escape with auspicious protection, does he?"

Ji Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing, Sheng Shaoqing thought for a while and asked, "Then what should I reward?"

She wanted to reward Wang Xuan's good son with a pair of silver bracelets, but unfortunately, now is not a good time.

Ji Wenxuan cupped his hands and said, "If the Empress Dowager is at ease, I will leave this matter to the minister."

Sheng Shaoqing was worrying that no one would take over the pot. Since Ji Wenxuan was so active, "Can I be worried about you doing things? Prime Minister Ji just go."

After Ji Wenxuan agreed, he remembered another matter, "Queen Mother, I have something else I want to report."

"Now the scientific examination is still in preparation, but...if this system is to last for a long time, it is necessary to set up a large number of schools."

"Otherwise, with the power of the aristocratic family, choose and choose, and finally choose among these people."

Sheng Shaoqing nodded, "I've also thought about this issue. If you want this official career to be completely open to the poor, then education must keep up. Otherwise, it's like choosing a companion for Che'er, you can only choose from the family. "

"It's just that I have only seen the expenditure and surplus of the national treasury last year. There is no such a sum of money used for this purpose."
