Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 180 Noble?

Wang Quan always wanted to ruin Wang Meichun's marriage and did not want Wang Meichun to marry Lin Cunde.

But he couldn't control Wang Ying. Not only could he not control him, but now that Wang Ying was going to become a marquis, he might not get any benefits at all. This Wang Quan was very unhappy.

Therefore, Wang Quan also felt that it was necessary to go to the palace and tell His Majesty that Wang Ying's family could not have all the benefits. He was also the empress's biological grandfather, so he could not lose all the benefits.

On the morning of the next day, Wang Quan took Wang Xi to the palace again.

Zhu Qiyu is still very happy these days. There is a vacant position in the cabinet. Zhu Qiyu has been choosing suitable people so that he can cooperate with Yu Qian in reorganizing the Ministry of War and give Yu Qian more support.

Although there are several candidates now, no decision has been made yet.

The memorial to impeach Wang Ying was well drafted by the cabinet, but only punished with half a year's salary. For Wang Ying, this is not a problem. The key is that now Wang Ying is granted the title of Marquis, and Lin Cunde's contribution ranks second. Zhu Qiyu wanted to reward Lin Cunde as an earl.

Now he is also testing, but there is no response from the civil servants yet. Zhu Qiyu is a little unsure what those civil servants mean?

Will they continue to oppose it, or will something happen?

In the past six months, Zhu Qiyu and the civil servants have been testing each other. They are testing everything, trying to find out each other's bottom line.

At the same time, constantly put pressure on the other party to make concessions and lower your own bottom line.

From the current point of view, Zhu Qiyu still won. During this period, the civil servants were making concessions, which made Zhu Qiyu feel very good these days.

While Zhu Qiyu was drinking tea comfortably, Cheng Jing came in. Seeing how leisurely Zhu Qiyu was, he couldn't bear to disturb him. In the past half year or so, Zhu Qiyu had not been so leisurely.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Qiyu asked casually when he saw Cheng Jing coming in. After all, if Cheng Jing came over, someone must be asking to see him.

"Your Majesty, we just received a report that Wang Quan and his eldest son asked for a meeting!" Cheng Jing reported with cupped hands.

After Zhu Qiyu heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Why do they want to see you?"

"I don't know. They just asked for a meeting. In addition, they also said that if His Majesty is busy, they would like to meet the Queen!" Cheng Jing continued to report to Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "I'm gone. Go and ask the Queen if she's there. Also, tell the Queen that during the time when my father-in-law went on the war, the Wang family bullied Xiaozhi and his mother-in-law a lot!"

"Yes!" When Cheng Jing heard Zhu Qiyu's words, he knew that Zhu Qiyu didn't want the Queen to see Wang Quan, but he still had to respect the Queen's wishes whether or not she did.

Soon, Cheng Jing went out and went straight to Kunning Palace. He did not dare to borrow such matters from other people's mouth. After all, if such things were spread, His Majesty and the Queen would be unhappy.

When Cheng Jing arrived at Kunning Palace, he saw Wang Meilin walking in Kunning Palace. Wang Meilin was now six months old and her belly was visible, so she would take advantage of the cooler weather in the morning to walk around the palace.

"Greetings to the Queen!" Cheng Jing came to Wang Meilin and saluted.

"Well, what happened?" Wang Meilin looked at Cheng Jing with a smile and asked. Cheng Jing was a person the couple trusted, so Wang Meilin would never show mercy to Cheng Jing.

"Your Majesty, Commander Wang and his eldest son asked to see you. They first asked to see your Majesty, but Your Majesty said no, so they asked to see the Queen. Your Majesty told you that during Admiral Wang's expedition, they had bullied Master Wang and his wife many times!" Cheng Jing Wherever he stood, he raised his hands to Wang Meilin and responded.

After Wang Meilin heard this, she was very angry. She was vaguely aware of these things. Someone had told her about it. However, her father hadn't come back yet and it was inconvenient for her to handle it. Now they still come to ask for help?

"Tell them not to see you. Let them be more honest at home. Don't think that no one knows about the things they did!" Wang Meilin looked at Cheng Jing very unhappy and said.

"Yes!" Cheng Jing responded with his hands raised.

"From now on, if they ask for a meeting, they don't need to report. I will not see them!" Wang Meilin ordered Cheng Jing again.

"Yes!" Cheng Jing responded again.

Soon Cheng Jing left and sent someone to inform Wang Quan and his son. When they learned the news, they were surprised.

This was the second time they came to see Zhu Qiyu, but they still couldn't see him. "Dad, what does your majesty mean? He didn't see us twice? Even if your majesty doesn't see us, the queen should see us, right?" When Wang Xi heard the announcement from his father-in-law, he looked at Wang Quan in surprise and asked.

Wang Quan was also a little frightened. He didn't see them twice, which meant that His Majesty didn't like them at all, and neither did the Queen.

This is not easy to do.

"Okay, go back!" Wang Quan doesn't want to be embarrassed here. If it is known that his family is not welcomed by His Majesty and the Queen, how will he accept gifts in the future? If you don’t accept gifts, how can you make money?

"father!"

"Okay, go back, no need to say anything more!" Wang Quan waved his hand and said irritably. '

Wang Xi could only help Wang Quan back.

Lin Cunde continued to sit at home. Every day, Lin Cunyi would come back with news. Wang Ying had already led the army on the way back, saying that he wanted to be made a marquis, and that Lin Cunde could be made a count.

When Lin Cunyi heard the news, he couldn't believe it, but he had hope in his heart. If his Xiaowu could be made an earl, then his family would also be honored in the future. In this way, his family would be the first in Ji'an Mansion.

And here in the capital, they are also from the upper class.

Therefore, after Lin Cunyi heard the news, he quickly rushed home and went straight to Lin Cunde's study.

When I arrived in the study, I saw Lin Cunde and Wang Zhi reading. Lin Cunyi first saluted Wang Zhi, and then looked at Lin Cunde who wanted to stop talking.

"What's wrong?" Lin Cunde frowned and asked when he saw Lin Cunyi staring at him without saying anything.

"Xiao Wu, that!" Lin Cunyi hesitated for a while as he said this, but also didn't believe the rumors outside. His own Xiao Wu did nothing at home and just read at home. How could he be granted the title of earl?

"What's wrong? Just tell me if you have anything to do!" Lin Cunde thought something had happened to Lin Cunyi, so he asked.

"Xiao Wu, there are rumors outside that you will also be made a count this time. Is it true?" Lin Cunyi looked at Lin Cuunde and asked in a low voice. He still didn't believe it.

"Where did the rumors come from?" Lin Cunde smiled after hearing this and asked,

Wang Zhi also put down his book and listened with open ears.

"There are rumors outside that this time Admiral Wang's contribution is ranked first, and your contribution is ranked second. Such a great victory must be rewarded. If Admiral Wang is made a marquis, then you must be made a count! But, what are you doing? You didn't do it either, so how come you are second in merit?" Lin Cunyi told Lin Cuunde everything he heard and asked his own questions.

"Don't listen to the rumors outside. As you said, I have done nothing and I have not gone to the front line to fight. How can I be knighted? In the Ming Dynasty, no knighthood is awarded unless military merit is achieved. The Sun family is just an exception." After hearing this, Lin Cunde laughed. Then he said to Lin Cunyi.

"But your merits rank second, and you also have military merits!" Lin Cunyi continued to ask. This is what Lin Cunyi did not understand.

"This is Shibo's deliberate promotion of me, and he ranked my contribution second. If I were to be knighted, the civil servants would not be convinced and would definitely reject it. This matter can be chatted or imagined, but it is not It could happen! Regarding this kind of rumor, if you hear it, say it's impossible!" Lin Cunde warned Lin Cunyi.

He had no illusions about being knighted. Although judging from Wang Ying's battle report, the defeat of Wala's [-] elite cavalry was all thanks to crossbows, but he did not go to the front line.

These are the points that Wenchen refutes, and Wenchen will not let this happen.

Moreover, I have no hope of being awarded a title. I will get the credit immediately. I am also practicing martial arts and reading military books. Once I hold the army in my hands, I will definitely get the reward through military exploits!

"Oh, that's it! Okay, then I understand, and I also say it's impossible!" After hearing this, Lin Cunyi touched his head and said with a smile.

In my heart, I still hope that my Xiaowu can be knighted.

"Brother-in-law, it's possible. I visited the marquis and earls a few days ago. They all mentioned your contribution and said that without the crossbow you provided, it would be impossible for me to achieve such great achievements!" Where was Wang Zhi sitting? , I somewhat disagree with what Lin Cunde said.
