Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 405 Flooded?
"Wenxuan!"

When he came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Wang Qiong took two quick steps to catch up with Jiang Bin.

Jiang Bin paused, slowed down, and waited for Wang Qiong to catch up.

The two were former ministers favored by the late Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and their relationship has always been very harmonious.

Jiang Bin was the personal servant of the late emperor Zhu Houzhao, and Wang Qiong was able to be reused by Zhu Houzhao later, thanks to Jiang Bin's connection.

Previously Yang Tinghe controlled the court and Wang Qiong was emptied. He understood the contradiction between himself and Yang Tinghe and Peng Ze. As a minister of the arm and arm, once the new emperor takes office, his own fate will be absolutely terrible.

Just when he was in despair, he did not expect Jiang Bin to escort the new emperor to Beijing. At first he thought that Jiang Bin was also forced to find a way out. They supported him. He was an old minister of the emperor, and he had already formed a deep hatred with Yang Ting and them. Those people basically regarded him as Liu Jin.

Although Wang Qiong knew that he was facing a dangerous situation, but based on his background and the foundation he had laid over the years, he knew that even if the new emperor took office and was thrown dirty water by Yang Ting and them, his worst status would be to be sent into exile.

Jiang Bin is different. Those people only regard him as Zhu Houzhao's thug, and there is no difference between him and Liu Jin. In their eyes, Jiang Bin is a dog's leg, and he is not an opponent of the same level as himself. Naturally, he hates and despises him. These people, those people are definitely ruthless. Wang Qiong knew the scene of killing Liu Jin...

Wang Qiong was very worried about Jiang Bin, and called Jiang Bin a stubborn ass at home!
If he had stood in Jiang Bin's place, he would have run to the border to escape for his life!He wanted to give Jiang Bin some advice, but his identity at that time was still supervised by Yang Ting and them, so he could only act in a low-key manner.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Bin moved into Leopard House smoothly, and even took the initiative to secretly ask someone to contact him, and this Jiang Bin did not know when he became a member of the new emperor, and the contact was to ask him to cooperate and move Yang Tinghe down together.

To bring down Yang Tinghe, what else would Wang Qiong like to do more than this!Immediately agree, and spare no effort when doing things!
Because after the new emperor ascended the throne, they needed to do various things. Jiang Bin and Wang Qiong rarely had the opportunity to meet except for important matters.

Moreover, Jiang Bin has been completely different from the previous high-profile since the new emperor came to power. He only works in a low-key manner, while Wang Qiong is busy helping the new emperor to rectify and understand the money and silver receipts of the household department after he moved Yang Tinghe and helped the new emperor to do various things. support problem.

Wang Qiong once served as the left servant of the household department. In the eighth year of Zhengde, he was promoted to the secretary of the household department.

Wang Qiong is very good at checking, and his calculation ability is even better.When he was an official, he copied down the past documents and rules, and fully grasped the income and expenditure, loss and profit of the household department.

After becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Households, I became more familiar with the country's financial calculations.A general from the frontier came to ask for grain and grass. He calculated how much grain and grass there was in a certain warehouse or pasture, how much each county transported each year, and how much grain and grass the frontier guards harvested each year in autumn. The calculated results were basically the same.

When Wang Qiong was the secretary of the household department, the border generals never dared to falsify the allocation of grain and silver.

Even though Yang Tinghe hated Wang Qiong very much, and wished he could die sooner, but in terms of his ability to do things, he had to admire Wang Qiong.

"Brother Dehua, slow down!"

Jiang Bin told Wang Qiong.

Wang Qiong is now sixty years old, but because he likes to practice martial arts, he even had the experience of leading troops to fight in the early years. His body is very good, and his energy and spirit are about 45-[-].

But his pace was too hasty, and the road they were walking on was unstable. Jiang Bin was worried that something might happen to him, so he would inevitably give a few words of advice.

Wang Qiong, courtesy name Dehua.

When Qin Shao met Wang Qiong, he asked Wang Qiong's name to express his kindness.

In this day and age, the words used to call each other are like calling nicknames. It is more intimate and the relationship is easier to advance to the next level.

"Chen, the word Dehua!"

Zhang Zuo was pouring tea for the two of them, Qin Shao just took a sip, and spit out the water when he heard those two words.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty?"

The sound came from Zhang Zuo, worried that the emperor would be choking, so he hurried forward to help clean it up.

The sound was from Wang Qiong, so she was naturally puzzled, not understanding that what she said made His Majesty choke, and she was a little restless.

Qin Shao didn't choke on the water on purpose, but just as the water reached his throat, when he heard his words again, he remembered the evergreen star who was famous in his previous life, and he choked when he got excited.

The main reason is that this Dehua is a bit too different from that Dehua!

The handsome, handsome boy of the star standard in the previous life!

This Wang Dehua, who is stout and Lu Zhishen, is indeed a bit too different.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the word... of my minister? It was taken by my grandfather for me. It was taken from Fan Zhongyan's "Fu of Modern Music and Ancient Music": "Gai cares about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and the prosperity of the people. Harmony is full of energy." All over the world, the virtues are then revitalized in the domain. It is true that all nations are common, and they are the same for a hundred generations."

Wang Qiong carefully explained the origin of his characters.

When the new emperor summoned him, Wang Qiong attached great importance to it, so he was naturally a little nervous.

Fortunately, the new emperor asked him mainly about treasury issues and some views on water conservancy. These are Wang Qiong's strengths. He naturally answered the questions fluently and saw the satisfied look on the new emperor's face.

The nervousness that had collapsed was relieved.

During the break, Xindi also asked the internal officials to add tea and some pastries, and started a family routine with himself.

Wang Qiong relaxed a lot. When the new emperor asked his own words, Wang Qiong said it without thinking.

"No! No... nothing wrong, just... just listen to this word..."

Qin Shao wanted to laugh.

"What's wrong with this word?"

Wang Qiong was a little nervous.

"It's okay! It's okay! I just remember that when I was a child, my father wanted to name me Dehua!"

Qin Shao opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"Then... is that minister trying to avoid His Majesty's taboo?"

Wang Qiong didn't expect that her words would hit His Majesty's taboo, that would be impossible!

"It's okay, I just thought about it, but I didn't take it later, and later I took the word Ziming. Your character is almost the same as mine. It's also a kind of fate."

Qin Shao laughed.

"That... that is my blessing! The word "chen" was originally given by His Majesty in the dark. I thank Your Majesty for giving me the word!"

Wang Qiong knelt down and thanked Qin Shaoqian directly.

This Wang Qiong... is so fucking good at flattering!
He looks like Lu Zhishen, but his personality is also somewhat similar. He looks rude, but in fact he can behave like a monkey. No wonder Wang Qiong is described in history. Although he is capable, he is cunning and flattering. He often sleeps with Zhu Houzhao .

The latter words are actually the same when describing Jiang Bin. This is a disgusting splash of dirty water, and it is also disgusting Zhu Houzhao.

At least from Qin Shao's understanding of this, although Zhu Houzhao is not very interested in the affairs of men and women, he should not have any hobbies in that area.

"Wenxuan, what did His Majesty mean just now? It is obviously dangerous, why don't we let us prepare in advance? Will this be too dangerous?"

Wang Qiong asked with some concern.

Now that Wang Qiong has landed safely, the new emperor has a high opinion of him and is very kind to others, although he is embarrassed to hear some men's vulgar words from time to time.

But he admires and likes the current new emperor quite a lot. He speaks decisively and acts like a king.

"Don't worry, Dehua, His Majesty has always done things safely. Since he has ordered, we just need to do as he ordered! Anyway, I have known His Majesty for so long, and I have never seen His Majesty ever miss something! Yang Ting and that guy After planning for so many years, His Majesty took care of it in a short period of time, and the rest of the monsters are no problem, just wait, Your Majesty is going to pull out those 'bad radishes' together!"

Jiang Bin laughed.

Wang Qiong was one of them, a grasshopper on a rope, and Jiang Bin didn't want to hide it.

"Wen Yi, you should treat each other with admiration for three days, and you are now well-educated, and you can even say the words demons and monsters!"

Wang Qiong looked at Jiang Bindao in surprise.

There was ridicule in the tone, but more surprise.

He has known Jiang Bin for many years, and knows that he does not read much and does not know many words. He used to hate polite words the most.

The first emperor Zhu Houzhao was most interested in military force, and when they were together, they usually had more topics about training soldiers.

"Are you kidding me!"

Jiang Bin laughed.

"Your Majesty said this word. I just borrowed it. I didn't like reading before. I found reading troublesome and useless to me. Only after I got in touch with Your Majesty did I realize that reading is beneficial. Your Majesty also said that it doesn't matter whether you are marching or fighting or protecting the city. In a city, force alone is not enough. You have to use your brain most of the time. Force is worth more than your brain. No matter how difficult things are, you can get twice the result with half the effort! Your Majesty gave me several books on history, all of which are great generals and military officials in history. Only after I read the book did I know that those who do well are basically literate, and I had so little experience before!"

Jiang Bin sighed.

Wang Qiong was very surprised that Jiang Bin listened to the new emperor so much, you must know that he is quite stubborn sometimes.

The influence of the new emperor is so great!

"Does Your Majesty like reading too?"

Wang Qiong asked curiously.

Although the new emperor looks vigorous and resolute, sometimes he speaks very straightforwardly. Yes, he is the emperor after all. It is better to speak bluntly with swear words.

Although Wang Qiong knew that the vassal kings had basically been raised and abolished these years, but as a vassal king, he learned etiquette from childhood and cultivated modest and gentlemen, but this world prevailed.

Especially in today's courts, most of them are civil servants. Everyone pays attention to decency, so they don't say anything in private, but they don't say vulgar words in public.

Today's new emperor's book talks about joy or anger, those vulgar words are called slippery.

Wang Qiong wondered if Lao Xingwang didn't let Xinhuang study well. Heard that he was raised in a Taoist temple because of his poor health since he was a child.

These civil servants are all from the imperial examination, and they have a deep sense of superiority towards culture.

Even though the former emperor Zhu Houzhao was the emperor, he read some books because of Xiaozong's love, but for those ministers, he just didn't read much. In his bones, he actually looked down on Zhu Houzhao, thinking that he was a reckless vulgar man. , including his father is no match.

Not to mention the high officials of the imperial court, but even small officials, they are basically Jinshi, and they passed the examinations of thousands of troops. This is their proud capital. In terms of academics, everyone is honey-confident. If the emperor is average in this area, It's hard to suppress them.

Although Wang Qiong admired the new emperor's ability to do things, but after all, he was young, and he thought he was also a person who was uninhibited and didn't like reading. Now, listening to Jiang Bin's meaning, he seems to be very interested in reading, and he can persuade Jiang Bin to study. It's amazing.

"Of course your majesty likes to read, and he reads better than anyone else. I've never seen someone as smart as your majesty! Not to mention ordinary people, even Yang Shen, who claims to be a great talent, has not been defeated by your majesty. Let me tell you that your majesty is five. Yuan was born, if it wasn't because of special circumstances, he would have been the No. [-] scholar in Zhengde Fourteen!"

Jiang Bin was very dissatisfied with Wang Qiong's questioning of Xinhuang's study, and said directly.

After finishing speaking, I realized that I had said too much, revealing the past of His Majesty!

"You said that your majesty was born in Wuyuan, and almost became the number one scholar? What do you mean?"

Wang Qiong dropped her jaw in surprise.

"Eh? I... I'm just talking... Tell me, this matter... His Majesty wants to talk about this matter later! I have something to do at home, so I have to go back first!"

Jiang Bin felt that he had talked too much and didn't want to say any more.

"Wen Yi, you have to talk about this matter, which one of us is with whom! From now on, you will work for the emperor. You have to let me know the emperor, and avoid doing things that are not hidden from your majesty's taboo!"

Wang Qiong is an old Jianghu, the things Jiang Bin said were too confusing, he had to ask clearly, so he just grabbed Jiang Bin's sleeve and didn't let go.

"Dehua!"

Jiang Bin felt helpless.

"Wen Yi, we used to be like brothers. You still have the grace of saving my life and supporting me. You have been busy all the time. It is not easy to find you. Today I invite you to Zuixianglou for a drink. There is a new song over there." Damn, the ditty singing really makes people's bones crisp, go and listen to it together!"

"Dehua, we are not too young! Let's go drink flower wine, in case His Majesty finds out..."

"Wen Yi, although you are familiar with His Majesty, I have known His Majesty for a short time, and I know that he is an uninhibited person. He said that it is okay for a man to drink flowers and wine to relax and take care of other people's business. It is also a good thing to be a man. It's fine!"

This is when Wang Qiong and Qin Shao were talking about the taxation of the capital, and they talked about the profitable occupations in the capital. His Majesty mentioned Hualou, and his words were so straightforward, which made Wang Qiong's old face flush with embarrassment!

These people take care of the business of those little ladies, all doing it in private, who has the nerve to put this matter on the bright side!

The new emperor actually spoke in a nonchalant manner, causing Wang Qiong to think that the new emperor is a loafer who doesn't like reading. Now that he knows that the new emperor has other things, how can he not be curious?

"You said Your Majesty...Your Majesty...Your Majesty actually participated in the imperial examination and won five yuan. If it wasn't for the late emperor, Your Majesty might be the champion?"

Wang Qiong jumped up from his seat at once.

"I said you don't get excited, you have to be excited, be careful to hear! Your Majesty will try No.1, but he didn't take part in the imperial examination. If he did, how could there be that so-called No. [-] scholar, and that No. [-] scholar was deliberately suppressed by the late emperor It was proposed by the Yang family, and if His Majesty participates, he must be the best candidate for the champion! The late emperor admires and admires His Majesty today!"

Jiang Bin grabbed Wang Qiong and said helplessly.

Fortunately, he knew that Wang Qiong wanted to investigate the situation, so he didn't let the little ladies come in to serve him.

"Does the late emperor know the identity of His Majesty?"

"That's natural, but I found out later that His Majesty didn't expect that he would become the Emperor. Speaking of it, the late Emperor was a bit more generous, and he was a little too anxious. If he could listen to His Majesty today, the ending would not be..."

"Wen Yi doesn't need to be sad. Even though the first emperor was really good to us, sometimes he really doesn't listen to people's persuasion, and he is not capable enough to fight with Yang Ting and them, including us. The new emperor may be the destiny! If those people know that His Majesty almost became the champion , I'm afraid the eyeballs are about to fall to the ground, and I probably don't dare to challenge His Majesty. Your Majesty is really arrogant!"

"Dehua, you have followed His Majesty's words too! Haha, even though Your Majesty is well-educated, his words are really refreshing!"

Jiang Bin laughed loudly.

"Wen Yi, let me say that although His Majesty speaks a little... When I see him, I always have some indescribable feelings. Anyway, I dare not make mistakes. Unlike the previous emperor, I always have to give some advice. The new emperor is completely Guided my thoughts, thinking that if your Majesty hadn't read so many books and had such knowledge, you would definitely not be able to... I questioned whether your majesty likes to read, it's really a big axe for Guan Gong! However, you said that your majesty is so smart, Do I have to avoid something when I do things in the future? You are familiar with His Majesty, so you have to guide me well!"

Wang Qiong's last words are what he wants to know most and what he wants to find out today

"Dehua, we are our own people, so we don't talk outside. Your majesty is a very smart person. I am clumsy and not good at communicating with people. I used to have your concerns. After all, although your majesty trusts me now, I am not him. The closest person. Your Majesty’s cousin Wang Yun once worked under my command. He is smart and experienced. I asked you the same question. Guess what he said?”

"How to say?"

"He said that in front of smart people, all we can do is to do things in a down-to-earth manner and not to be slippery! Your Majesty is a person who does practical things. I knew that he was broad-minded and his mind was not entirely in the court. He I hate internal fighting among officials, saying that it is a woman's behavior, and a man should look at the world, not the small interests in front of him! He said that as long as you do things with him, everyone's pockets will not be deflated, but enrich your pockets instead of fighting internally Instead, grab the big money from outside, rush out of Daming, and go to the world!"

"Rush out of Ming Dynasty and enter the world?"

"Yes, step out of Ming Dynasty and go to the world!"

……

That night.

In the Qingning Palace, there were shadows swaying furtively.

For a moment, I saw kung fu, and I saw the flames soaring into the sky.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

Waves of hysterical shouts pierced the sky.
