Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 26 Wang Ziteng is transferred to Beijing Camp

Outside the palace, facing the east road and beyond Jingyun Gate, there is an open flat land.

On this flat land, there is only one independent hall, named "Shedian".

The Shedian is five rooms wide and three rooms deep, with yellow glazed tiles resting on the top of the mountain and corridors on all sides.

The Shedian and the open flat land where it is located can be collectively referred to as the Shedian field.

The Shedianchang was the place where the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and his princes and grandsons practiced bow and horse training. It was also the place where the archery and horse skills and bravery were tested in the martial arts test of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It's December.

That afternoon, Emperor Jing'an came to the Shedian Field to practice archery and horse training. He did not bring the prince, but he brought three of his grandsons, namely Yuan Qingliang, Yuan Qingtang, and Yuan Qingbai.

Yuan Qingliang is over 20 years old and has a son.

Yuan Qingtang is seventeen years old. He became an adult last year and got married last year.

These two grandsons were still raised and taught by Emperor Jing'an and still lived in the palace.

"Qingliang, Qingtang, you two are much older than Qingbai, but your bow and horse skills are much worse than Qingbai's, and your physical strength is even worse. You two need to strengthen your skills in bow and horse training. .”

Emperor Jing'an said to Yuan Qingliang and Yuan Qingtang.

Yuan Qingliang smiled and said: "Grandfather, Brother Bai is a martial arts genius."

"Although my grandson is his older cousin, he can't compete with him in martial arts."

"However, my grandson will keep his words in mind and will continue to strengthen his learning on bow and horse in the future."

Yuan Qingtang smiled and agreed: "My grandson has the same thoughts as Brother Liang."

There is no harm without comparison.

Both of them are good at bow and horse, and their performance in the competition between emperors and grandsons this year in Autumn also satisfied Emperor Jing'an.

But Yuan Qingbai is really talented in physical martial arts. He is diligent in practicing martial arts and has made rapid progress. Now he has surpassed the two of them on bow and horse.

This comparison made Emperor Jing'an feel that the two of them needed to learn more about their bow and horse skills.

Emperor Jing'an loved both of them.

Especially Yuan Qingliang, the emperor's eldest grandson, was deeply loved by Emperor Jing'an. Even if his father committed a major rebellion and became a deposed prince who was imprisoned, Emperor Jing'an's love for him did not decrease much.

I like it very much, and it can be divided into two situations.

One is pampering, like the kind that Jia Mu treats Jia Baoyu...

The other is that the more you love someone, the more demanding they are, and the stronger your desire to have a successful child.

Emperor Jing'an's love for Yuan Qingliang and Yuan Qingtang fell into the latter category.

At this moment, Yuan Qingliang and Yuan Qingtang both felt aggrieved.

In addition to being aggrieved, Yuan Qingtang also felt disgusted with Yuan Qingbai...

Emperor Jing'an snorted and said to Yuan Qingliang and Yuan Qingtang: "Qingbai is a martial arts prodigy, which is good, but I can see that he is also working hard at studying and making rapid progress."

"When you were young, I watched over you carefully, so you studied hard."

"But since you have grown up and got married, I have paid less attention to you, and you have slacked off in your studies. Do you think I don't know?"

Yuan Qingliang said hurriedly and respectfully: "The emperor's grandfather's teachings are reasonable. My grandson will keep them in mind. He will definitely study hard in the future."

He felt even more aggrieved, thinking that he was already over 20 years old, married and had children, and had been studying for many years. Grandpa Emperor, you can't ask me for your studies like you asked Brother Bai.

Yuan Qingtang echoed: "My grandson also keeps it in mind."

He also had the same idea as Yuan Qingliang, but he thought about it a little more.

That is, he believed that although he was only seventeen years old, he was already an adult and married and was raised by Emperor Jing'an. What he should do now is to do good in politics.

Emperor Jing'an gave a lesson to the two empresses and grandsons he had raised, and then said to Tao Quan, the eunuch in front of the imperial court: "Let the prince come to the palace to see you."

Tao Quan had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. He took the order to leave, and soon led a military attaché over. This military attaché was wearing a second-grade official uniform and had a tall figure.

He is Wang Ziteng.

The Jia family, the Wang family, the Shi family, and the Xue family are the four big families in Jinling, collectively known as "Jia Shi Wang Xue".

These four families are all connected by relatives, and if they suffer, they will suffer, and if they prosper, they will all be prosperous. They will support and protect them all.

The Jia Mansion belongs to the Jia family.

Mrs. Jia Mu Shi Lao Taijun comes from the family of historians.

Wang Ziteng came from the Wang family.

Jia Zheng's first wife, Mrs. Wang, was also from the Wang family and was Wang Ziteng's sister.

Wang Ziteng's glory and prominence mostly depended on the support of Jia Daishan of Rongguo Mansion.

Once upon a time, Jia Daishan arranged for Prince Teng to become the imperial guard of Emperor Jing'an.

Wang Ziteng worked as an imperial guard for ten years. He was initially a third-class imperial guard, then promoted to a second-class imperial guard, and then to a first-class imperial guard.

Later, Wang Ziteng was promoted to serve as a second-rank deputy general outside the capital.

Now, Emperor Jing'an transferred Wang Ziteng to the position of deputy general in the Beijing camp, so Wang Ziteng returned to the capital for an audience.

At this moment, Wang Ziteng walked towards Emperor Jing'an and found three people standing next to Emperor Jing'an. Among them, Yuan Qingliang and Yuan Qingtang were familiar to him, but he seemed to have never met the other young brother.

But he immediately made a guess in his mind: "That young man should be the emperor's grandson Yuan Qingbai!"

He had learned about Emperor Jing'an's marriage to Yuan Qingbai and Yuan Chun, and had also inquired about Yuan Qingbai's situation.

Wang Ziteng walked up to Emperor Jing'an, knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty Wang Ziteng, I would like to bow to the Lord Jin An."

Emperor Jing'an did not ask him to stand down immediately, but asked in a deep voice: "I ask you, do you have anything to do with the so-called princeling?"

Wang Ziteng's heart tightened, and he quickly said solemnly: "I dare not deceive the Holy Majesty in the slightest."

"I have heard that the eldest prince has done something bad, and the Jia family is also involved. My Wang family has some connections with the Jia family. I also have a sister who is married to the Rongguo family. Your Majesty knows about this."

"But I have never had anything to do with the prince. I have shown great favor to the Holy One and am thinking of repaying the Holy One with all my heart. How can I dare to have any evil intentions?"

Emperor Jing'an nodded. He had already determined that Wang Ziteng himself had nothing to do with the princelings.

Emperor Jing'an then said: "Get up."

Wang Ziteng said: "I dare not get up. If the Holy Master has any instructions, I can just kneel down and listen."

Emperor Jing'an smiled playfully: "Ziteng, I want you to get up."

Wang Ziteng was overjoyed. The Holy Master finally called him "Zi Teng" again, and then he stood up.

Emperor Jing'an then asked: "Have all the official duties of your original appointment been completed?"

Prince Teng said hurriedly: "The business has been settled."

Emperor Jing'an said: "You have served as an imperial guard for ten years and are my trusted military attache. In view of this, and also in view of your achievements as a deputy general outside the capital, I will transfer you to the position of deputy general in the capital camp this time."

Prince Teng said respectfully: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Although the deputy general of Jingying was also a second-grade military attache, he was more important and had a higher status than the deputy general that Wang Ziteng had served before.

And Wang Ziteng felt that Emperor Jing'an arranged for him to be the deputy general of the Beijing camp this time, perhaps so that he could succeed Yue Zhong as the military governor of the Beijing camp in the future...

After Jia Daihua was dismissed as the Jingying Jiedushi, Emperor Jing'an asked Yue Zhong, the former deputy general of the Jingying, to take over as the Jingying Jiedushi, and now he transferred Wang Ziteng to the position of deputy general of the Jingying.

Emperor Jing'an said: "I have a message for you."

Prince Teng said respectfully: "I will listen carefully."
