Chapter 2673 The Capital (29)

A few days after the fleet left Yangzhou, the counterfeiting project at Jinwenchi was completed.Several carefully crafted documents were placed on the case table, and Wang Yehao was amazed when he saw them: "It's unexpected that Mr. has such a skill, it can be called a miracle."

"My lord is too famous." Jin Wenchi said so, but his body was very honest, and he proudly showed his work to Wang Yehao, "The ancestors of the students were in the business of mounting rubbings, and they learned a little fur skills before entering school. This The paper surface is made of old letters brought by the adults, so the signatures and seals are all authentic. The creases are made on the seams, and no one can distinguish them unless they are experts. In this method, every word has the original text, and only a little connection is made between the beginning and the end of the strokes."

After hearing this, Wang Yehao praised and said: "Mr. was really inferior before."

"It's not a problem to make some documents. It's just that according to the imperial court regulations, the prince's begging is related to Guan Chengjue, and the documents should be in triplicate. Needless to say, the father and son must keep one copy in the official. The three documents have been completed. Then I don’t know if my lord has a magic method for storage?” Jin Wenchi asked a tricky question.

"Don't worry about this matter, sir, I have my own way. This time, sir, has already done a great job." Wang Yehao is not too worried about this matter. With his fourth uncle's contacts, if this matter can't be done, how can he be confused? to the current position.After discussing the matter of inheriting the title with Mr. Zhou before, Wang Yehao asked Liu Zhao to follow Jinyiwei's secret line, and Feige sent a letter to communicate with his fourth uncle Wang Xian.Wang Xiantong agreed very happily, and the reply letter was delivered the day before yesterday, so Wang Yehao has a solid foundation in his heart at this moment.

"It's just a trivial skill, adults don't care about it." Jin Wenchi expressed modesty, "Students have doubts recently, and don't know whether to ask them or not."

"You and I are in the same body, sir, but it's okay to ask."

"Since the adults said this, the students became abrupt. The students have heard that those who do great things do not plan to win, but first plan to lose. I don't know what chance the adults have to win this time?"

When Wang Yehao was asked such a question by Jin Wenchi, he couldn't help but feel turmoil in his heart.Indeed, if the monster's prophecy is unreliable, he will undoubtedly die.But the recent events made him feel that he could take a gamble. After all, as long as he wins the bet, the profit is immeasurable.Wang Yehao thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be better not to mention the things that are unpredictable and prophetic, so as not to explain clearly: "I think that to fight against chaos, it is necessary to gather insightful people from all levels of the government and the public to promote righteousness and help them. "

"Your Excellency's words are true!" Jin Wenchi agreed, "I am not talented, and I would like to repay you with my body, and help us in charity!"

"Although it is a righteous act, we still need to be cautious about this matter." Wang Yehao laughed, as if thinking of something interesting, "I have an alias of 'Shi Weng'. Mister, it is better to hide the name for the time being. Don’t spread it outside and cause trouble.”

"My lord said so." Jin Wenchi agreed, "Since your lord is 'Shi Weng', students should call him 'Jin Shi'."

"Okay, why not call him Daoist Jinshi. It's more convenient for people from other places to do things." Wang Yehao said.

"It's all up to the adults to arrange!"

After arranging the Jin Wenchi, Wang Yehao summoned the officials again and told him: "The boat should move slowly and be safe."

He intentionally set the date of arriving in Beijing at the beginning of August, so as to save the time of dealing with the eunuchs due to the unknown situation after returning to Beijing. If Mr. Zhou's prophecy comes true this week and the new lord ascends the throne, he can save a lot of trouble If the prophecy fails, he has also made arrangements: as soon as Liu Zhao receives the secret letter, he will kill Taoist Hearthstone and his apprentice, and then kill Jin, Wei and the two servant girls, and there will be no future troubles.

After Jin Wenchi left, Wang Yehao handed two of the documents to Wang Liang, and told him, "Take a small boat to the north quickly, and take more boatmen. You travel day and night, and the documents must be handed over to the fourth uncle."

"Let's go, little one!"

"Also, try to find a way to see if there is a way to believe in the palace. There are always some little eunuchs who hang around in the market, so make friends." He continued, "After getting acquainted, try to get on the line of Concubine Tian, ​​and say that she is an old eunuch from her natal family. There is no need to be stingy with money, all the money in the house can be used, and there is no upper limit this time."

"I understand." Wang Liang couldn't help beaming with joy when he heard that there was such a fat job.

"It must be fast!" Wang Yehao emphasized again with a serious expression.

This year's winter is extremely cold, Wang Yehao sits alone in the warm pavilion warming up the fire, and there are still intermittent snowflakes outside the house.When the news came last month that Nine Thousand Years Old had hanged himself, Wang Yehao was no longer surprised.Ever since the late emperor passed away on August [-]th, Wang Yehao believed that the immortal's prophecy would come true.Then a series of events, such as Xin Wang ascended the throne, named Chongzhen, deposed Wei Ni, etc., further strengthened Wang Yehao's confidence.

Looking back on the turbulent and treacherous court situation in the past six months, Wang Yehao was very glad that he made the right bet.Although Wang Yehao had little contact with the Donglin Party before, but relying on the solid foundation supplemented by sprinkled money along the way, the relationship is still well maintained now.

Today's holy majesty not only retrials the unjust cases committed by the eunuch party when he was in power, but also revives many officials who were excluded and suppressed in the past.Judging from the current trend, it is a certainty that the Donglin faction will be in charge of the court.

Wang Yehao, who has performed well recently and rescued Wei Dazhong's daughter, has naturally become a popular figure in the court, but he is not active in the matter of promotion, but is very modest.It's not that Wang Yehao is so modest, but he clearly realizes that he was born as a Jinshi, and he is also a "Zhejiang Party". In the past few years, there have been ambiguities between the Zhejiang Party and the Eunuch Party. There are many reasons. If you take advantage of the turmoil in the court and rise too quickly, you will not only be left as speculative, but will also arouse the resentment of a group of Donglin old people, which will not last long.It's better to accumulate food widely, build walls high, and fully win over people's hearts, and then exert strength when the situation is ripe in the future.Besides, with the help of Taoist Hearthstone, maybe we can add Jiuxi in the future...

No, no, Jiu Xi is too outrageous, this is the standard match for a rebellious official and a traitor, he doesn't have this idea, so he will be appointed as a marquis and prime minister, and his wife and son...

Speaking of this "immortal" (Since Wei Zhongxian committed suicide, Wang Yehao has changed the demon into an immortal in private), he regretted letting him go to Guangzhou.Now that we have been separated for half a year, although there is news of safety, there is no letter about the specific situation.

Wang Yehao was vaguely uneasy. After all, Immortal Zhou hadn't said anything about the future direction of the court. If he accidentally made a wrong move, all previous efforts would be wasted.Wang Yehao looked at the flickering charcoal fire in the furnace, and said quietly to himself: "It seems that we still have to get 'Mr. Hearthstone' back."

He has already sent people to Guangzhou to find Liu Zhao, and also sent people to Dongyang to bring the two maids to the capital.According to his cold observation and reports from his servants and others on weekdays, he knew that Mr. Zhou was pure in nature, although he was a bit lustful, he cared for his woman very much and cherished it very much.These two maids have skin-to-skin relationship with him, which is a suitable bargaining chip.

"Master, your fourth uncle sent someone to bring some pastries." Wang Liang walked into the Nuan Pavilion, interrupted Wang Yehao's thoughts, and handed a food box to the table.

"Oh, does anyone have a message?" Wang Yehao asked.

"I didn't say anything else, I just said that I invite you to taste Guangli's specialties."

"Okay, go down and reward some silver. Close the door, we won't see any visitors today."

After Wang Xiantong obtained the forged documents by Jin Wenchi, he quickly operated successfully and received the title of knighthood.Although due to material issues, Wang Yehao obviously shouldn't get too close to his fourth uncle who works in Jinyiwei.But this does not affect the private relationship between the uncle and nephew to go further.Wang Yehao told his fourth uncle that he had sent someone to Guangfu, and wanted to borrow Jinyiwei's line to wait for an answer. Now that a food box has arrived, it is obvious that there is news.

Wang Yehao opened the food box, and there were a few pieces of Cantonese-style walnut crisps inside, but they didn't look fresh, and some of them were moldy.This snack was obviously not for eating. Wang Yehao broke the walnut cake into pieces, and found a scroll in one of them.

Look at the signature, this is the message sent by Liu Zhao in October.It is said that the two did not find the Australian and the Qiankun mirror in Guangfu, and there is no clue to continue the search at present, but Mr. Zhou does not want to return to Beijing Yunyun.

Wang Yehao checked the other pieces of walnut cakes, but found no other information. He read the words on the scroll carefully, and then threw them into the oven.

The court situation has changed too fast in the past few months. If it weren't for the New Year's Eve, Wang Yehao would rarely have the opportunity to take the long exam leisurely at home.Regarding official affairs, now relying on Jin Wenchi can basically rest assured.However, the guidance of the "immortal" is indispensable for grasping the general direction, and Liu Zhao is indispensable for the secret work.Now that the two of them are not here, I feel unsatisfactory in doing things.It wasn't until it was time to light the lamps that Wang Liang came to knock on the door and asked if he would have dinner, and Wang Yehao withdrew his mind.

"Go and prepare a gift, and follow me to my fourth uncle's place tomorrow to say hello." Wang Yehao ordered, "Bring over dinner."

The next day, Wang Yehao came to Wang Xiantong's mansion early in the morning according to the etiquette of the younger generation visiting the elders.He has gained a lot in Guangdong and Jiangnan, so he has a lot of money recently, and the gift list prepared today is also very important-this fourth uncle who works in Jinyiwei has now won the title again, and he will be asked to teach him more in the future.Favors must be fulfilled.

Since Gaozu Hairiweng was the number one scholar in high school, among the four generations of the Wang family "keeping the integrity and inheriting the ancestors", the fame has become less and less obvious.Although Wang Yehao is only a fellow Jinshi, he is the only one in the "Ye" generation, so Wang Xiantong has always favored this nephew.In addition, he recently helped him get a title, so Wang Xiantong paid special attention to Wang Yehao's visit today, and went to the hall to greet him in person.

The walnut cake was delivered yesterday, and today I came back for a return visit, obviously I have something to discuss.The two didn't exchange a few words, Wang Xiantong understood Wang Yehao's wink, led him into the study, and then retreated to the left and right.

"My nephew wants to trouble my fourth uncle with something." Since it was a secret conversation, Wang Yehao didn't beat around the bush.
