The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 370
Jiayou six years, spring.

As the spring was getting closer, the city of Bianjing became more and more lively. Students from all over the world came to Beijing to take the exam, and some traffickers and pawns slowly gathered in Bianjing.

In this year's scientific expedition, there were especially many people from Bianjing, which increased the pressure on Kaifeng Mansion and the Five Cities Bingma Division.

King Yong's plan to force the palace is also unfolding in an orderly manner. The private army in Shuzhong broke up and sneaked into Bianjing one after another, and temporarily settled in the private houses of King Yong and Wang Gang.

On the other side, the army led by Zhou Bing also joined Ma Guowei to formally escort the Alien Beast Xiangrui into Beijing.

Before departing from the south of the Yangtze River, a batch of secret ordnance was thrown into Zhou Bing's barracks, received by his confidant officers, and shipped to Bianjing together.

Wang Gang was very busy during this period, King Yong believed him completely, and handed over the subordinates of the palace to him for deployment.

Rebellion is never something that can be achieved just by talking about it. There are too many things involved. Fortunately, Wang Gang has been reincarnated in several generations and has also managed a large company with tens of thousands of people. He has extremely rich management experience and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

King Yong saw that Wang Gang was so capable, and he was immediately proud that he had a good eye and discerning pearls, and he did not find the wrong husband for his daughter.

In order to finalize the marriage, King Yong even asked his daughter Princess Jiacheng to meet Wang Gang.

To be honest, Princess Jiacheng's appearance is not ugly. It may be because she has never been in the sun since she was a child. The princess's skin is very good, which adds three points to her beauty.

But the meeting between Princess Jiacheng and Wang Gang was not pleasant.

Before King Yong arranged for his daughter to go on a blind date, he obviously did not introduce Wang Gang's situation clearly. Princess Jiacheng only thought that Wang Gang was the concubine of a sixth-rank official.

"You are Sheng Changfeng, and you are not very good-looking. Why are you so valued by my father?" Princess Jiacheng always had a superior attitude when she saw Wang Gang, exactly the same as King Yong back then.

"My lord loves me so much, Chang Feng is ashamed to take it." Wang Gang said modestly.

Princess Jiacheng snorted coldly: "To tell you the truth, if my father hadn't forced me to come to see you this time, I wouldn't have come at all."

Wang Gang nodded and said: "Princess, don't worry, Chang Feng understands that his status is low and he is not worthy of you. I will make it clear to Wang Ye later."

Princess Jiacheng said with satisfaction: "It's best for you to know people. You are just the bastard of a sixth-rank official. How can a pheasant match a phoenix?"

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "What the princess said is that the future husband-in-law of the princess must be a dragon and a phoenix among the people, and come from an extraordinary background."

Princess Jiacheng seemed to think of something, and said, "I heard that Qi Heng, the son of Duke Qi, is teaching in your private school."

"That's right, I have been classmates with Young Master Qi for many years, and we are inseparable from each other."

Princess Jiacheng was overjoyed and said, "Go and make arrangements, I want to meet Qi Heng."

Wang Gang was surprised and said: "The princess knows Qi Heng?"

Princess Jiacheng said shyly, "I once met him at the polo field."

Wang Gang pretended to suddenly realize: "So that's it, Qi Heng did participate in a polo meeting some time ago."

"Whatever nonsense you say, do whatever the princess tells you to do." Princess Jiacheng said a little angrily.

"Reporting to the princess, Qi Heng is currently preparing for the Spring Festival. He has been studying hard behind closed doors at home all day, and it is rare for me to see outsiders." Wang Gang said with a wry smile.

"If it's such a good date, why should I ask you?" Princess Jiacheng said arrogantly: "My princess doesn't care, if you can't arrange for me to meet Qi Heng, I will tell my father later that you bullied me.

I want to see if my father believes in you or me. "

Wang Gang finally experienced the arrogance of Princess Jiacheng, and he was very upset, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Since the princess ordered, Chang Feng dare not neglect, but can the princess wait for a few days, when the spring is over, I will arrange for you to meet Qi Heng."

Princess Jiacheng was a little displeased and said, "Wouldn't it be a month's wait?"

Wang Gang explained: "The princess doesn't want to affect Qi Heng's scientific examination either!"

Princess Jiacheng thought about it for a while, and felt that she should not delay the future of her sweetheart.

"Alright then! But this county mainly reminds you, if you can't arrange for me to meet Qi Heng, be careful with your head."

After finishing speaking, Princess Jiacheng turned around and left, not even paying Wang Gang a second glance.

After dismissing Princess Jiacheng, King Yong quickly found him.

"My son-in-law, how do you meet my daughter?"

Can Wang Gang tell the truth?Of course not, I can only lie to King Yong and said: "The princess is beautiful and generous, she is worthy of being the jewel in the palm of the prince."

"Haha, this king's daughter is naturally very good. When I become emperor in the future, I will make Jiacheng a princess, and you will naturally be the son-in-law." King Yong laughed happily.

Wang Gang stood aside and did not want to continue this topic.

"My lord, spring is just around the corner. I want to concentrate on studying hard. You are almost ready for things here. We only need to wait for the alien beasts to enter the capital, which is when we launch a mutiny."

King Yong said: "You don't have to take the scientific examination too seriously. I have already greeted the people below. You must be the first in this test."

Wang Gang said: "My lord, I still want to try Sanyuan Jidi."

King Yong said arrogantly: "When things come to fruition in the future, I will preside over the palace examination. Isn't that just thinking about who is the champion and who is the champion."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "Then I would like to thank Your Majesty for making this possible, and let the boy's name go down in history."

There are many champions in each dynasty, but there are very few winners in the triple ranks. Each of them is a famous existence in history, which is a great honor for scholars.

In the end, King Yong let Wang Gang go and let him go home to prepare for the scientific examination.

Wang Gang went straight back to Sheng Mansion, and met with Sheng Hong and the old lady.

"You still know to come back?" The old lady got annoyed when she saw Wang Gang.

"Grandmother forgives me, my grandson lives outside and wants to concentrate on preparing for the scientific examination." Wang Gang laughed.

"Why do you live outside and think I don't know?" Old Madam Sheng said coldly:
"Sanlang, I want to remind you, don't get too close to King Yong, he has big plans, be careful to bring the Sheng family into a place where there will be no redemption."

"Grandmother taught you very well, and grandson will definitely remember your teaching." Wang Gang nodded in agreement.

Old Madam Sheng frowned, feeling that today's grandson was a little different.

"Are you going back this time?"

"I won't leave. I won't leave until the end of the spring. What I want to do has been done. I don't have to worry about the rest." Wang Gang pointed out.

Mrs. Sheng always felt that Wang Gang had something to say, but she didn't know how to ask.

"Go and see your mother! She misses you very much when you are not here, and she has lost a lot of weight."

Wang Gang left Shou'an Hall and went straight back to Lin Xi Pavilion, just in time to see Lin Sushuang embroidering.

"Feng'er, you're back." Lin Sushuang accidentally pricked her finger with a needle when she saw Wang Gang.

Wang Gang hurriedly stepped forward to look at Lin Sushuang's fingers, and after confirming that it was all right, he said, "Mother, let the servants do these things."

Lin Sushuang hadn't seen her son for a long time, her eyes were moist.

"Mother is fine, just in time for you to come back, mother has something to discuss with you." Lin Sushuang said:
"Your father arranged a marriage for you. The other party's family background is very good, and mother is also satisfied, but there is one thing that is not very good."

Wang Gang has become interested, why are there so many people wanting to call him his son-in-law these days.

"Who is the other party?"

"It's a girl from the Hai family named Hai Chaoyun. She looks pretty good after seeing her. The only thing is that the Hai family has a family rule, regardless of gender, before the age of 40, no heirs are allowed to take concubines." Lin Sushuang said .

"Hai family?!" Wang Gang said in surprise.

Lin Sushuang said strangely: "Yes, it is the famous Hai family."

The Hai family, known as "One School of Five Imperial Forests", is a well-known noble family with hairpin tassels.

The Hai family is a scholarly family, full of nobles, and Hai Chaoyun's father and brother are both officials in the court.

The family rules of the Hai family once clearly stated that "children and grandchildren can only take concubines when they are forty and have no children", which shows that their family style is strict.

Wang Gang was not surprised by Hai Chaoyun's family background, but was surprised by the identity of the girl from the Hai family.

Do you know that in the original book, Hai Chaoyun is Sheng Changbai's wife, also Wang Gang's sister-in-law.

Wang Gang couldn't help being surprised when his sister-in-law became a daughter-in-law.

"Miss from the Hai family, if you can take a fancy to me as a concubine, the Hai family also agrees?" Wang Gang asked.

"The Hai family's rules are too strict, making it difficult to get married! Besides, it's not easy for you to marry her."

Lin Sushuang said: "They made a condition that you not only need to be a Jinshi in this scientific examination, but also enter the Imperial Academy, so this marriage will be considered successful.

If you want me to say that it doesn’t matter if you marry a girl from the Hai family or not, if she gets married and has nothing to earn, you don’t have to be 40 years old to take a concubine, mother is still in a hurry to have a grandson. "

Wang Gang had the original expression.

The so-called Hanlin refers to the Hanlin Academy, which is the place where the imperial court cultivates talents and hopes. It is responsible for compiling books and writing history, drafting imperial edicts, reading for members of the royal family, and serving as examiners for imperial examinations.The noble status is the stepping stone to become a senior cabinet minister or even a local official.

There is an unwritten unspoken rule in the imperial court that one cannot be a prime minister if one does not enter the Imperial Academy.

Therefore, the prerequisite for becoming a prime minister is to enter the Imperial Academy.

On the other hand, entering the Hanlin Academy represented a great future, and the status of a bastard was a minor issue.

"Mother, I want to talk about marriage after the results of the scientific examination are released." Wang Gang said to Lin Sushuang.
