The royal princes who walked into the gate of keshengju looked almost the same, and their eyes looked at the border troops with undisguised contempt. Because of his Majesty's whim, these soldiers from poor families forcibly robbed half of the admission quota of the martial arts academy from the children of the aristocratic family. The contradiction can't be stopped from the moment this will comes down.
Jiangnan Wang's family is one of the most famous families in the world. In the former dynasty, the Wang's family produced seven prime ministers, four state princes and dozens of county and township princes. The former dynasty's door valve Wang's family was the most. Although the royal family gradually lost power after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the details of the aristocratic family for hundreds of years can not be underestimated.
In the former dynasty, the only thing that could be compared with the Wang family was the Xie family in Jiangnan. The fate of the two famous families is also similar. Since the great Sui Dynasty replaced the previous dynasty, the status of the two families in the imperial court is declining day by day. In particular, when Emperor Tianyou Yang Yi was appointed, none of the officials above the third grade came from the two families. There are no officials in the court, which is a precursor to the complete decline of a family.
But there is no doubt that the Wang family still has unparalleled influence in local areas.
Wang Ding is one of the outstanding young people of the Wang family in Chinese martial arts. His father once served as a prefect, but he only stayed in the position of four grades. No matter how difficult it is to advance, his father has high hopes for Wang Ding since childhood in order to revitalize the Wang family. He spared no expense in hiring erudite scholars to teach his lessons, and invited famous people in the Wulin to guide his practice.
Wang Ding also lived up to his father's expectations. When he was young, his name was spread in the south of the Yangtze River. But it is also because of his youth that he becomes famous, and his temperament is inevitably lonely and lonely.
When he came to the imperial capital this time, he had two things he wanted to win.
The martial arts academy entered the top three in the exam and married Yang Weixia, the daughter of Yang Kai, king of Xujun. Although the king of Xujun did not respond to the marriage, Wang Ding knew that if he wanted to make progress in his official career, marrying the daughter of the king of Xujun was undoubtedly a shortcut. The family also attached great importance to this matter. It not only invited a famous old minister in the imperial court as a matchmaker, but even wrote to the emperor.
The arrogant Wang Ding didn't like the border troops gathered in keshengju. Speaking of it, he deliberately came to see the poverty of these border soldiers today. He can't afford to eat the wine and vegetables of Hakka Shengju for free. In his opinion, it's unbearable that these soldiers are not ashamed to die.
The boy in keshengju was very clever and hurriedly met Wang Ding and others to the elegant room on the second floor. Wang dingbai glanced at the border troops and said to the young men in a loud voice, "if these meritorious soldiers in the Sui Dynasty don't have enough wine, you just serve it at will. The money spent is mine."
The words came out of his mouth with an embarrassing meaning.
The young fellow whispered a reply. He said in his heart, young master Wang, why do you bother to make trouble? These soldiers drink well, but you come to ridicule and satirize. If it really makes trouble, we can't carry it.
Mo Xidao's face changed and took a step forward with angry eyes. Fang Xie stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve and shook his head slightly. Mo Xidao snorted coldly, sat down on the stool, patted the seal of a wine jar, directly picked it up and poured it into his mouth.
At this time, the last person who came in behind Wang Ding and others attracted the attention of all the border soldiers.
He is a tall man with beard, big eyes, wide shoulders and narrow waist, square face, sword eyebrows and angry eyes. He is not wearing royal clothes, but the clothes led by the military brigade of the great Sui Dynasty.
"It's Wang Wei!"
Zhang Kuang whispered in Fang Xie's ear, "he is the leader of the army at the edge of Baishui city. He is a man of general Luo Yao. Although he is also a poor family background, he can climb backstage somehow!"
"Wang Wei, who leads soldiers to kill several barbarian towns every year?"
Fang Xie couldn't help asking.
"That's him!"
Zhang Kuang snorted coldly: "After he arrived in the imperial capital, he never went out with the brothers from the border army, but spent all day with the sons of aristocratic families. In fact, he was a valet. People used him as a dog envoy. He felt very beautiful and lost the face of our border army! Yesterday I asked several brothers to invite him. He said he was not free. He wanted to curry favor with the people of the king's family in the south of the Yangtze River. No wonder he had to come and drink with us Wine. "
Mo Xidao shook his head and said softly, "everyone has their own aspirations. Don't force it. Come... Let's drink!"
He raised the wine jar again and poured in half at one breath.
"Brother Fang, you really... Have seen your majesty enough?"
Zhang Kuang shifts the topic and asks for solutions.
Fang Xie nodded and said, "yes, but I'm timid. I don't dare to look up. Up to now, I don't know what your majesty looks like."
Zhang Kuang smiled and said, "if it were me, I'm afraid I would crawl on the ground and dare not look up."
Mo Xidao didn't answer, but just looked at Wang Ding and others who climbed the stairs. It seemed that he felt his eyes. Wang Ding stopped halfway up the stairs, looked here, snorted, and looked back and said something to his companion.
Fang Xie pulled Mo Xidao, smiled and said, "where does brother Mo live?"
"Post station"
Mo Xidao was silent for a moment and replied, "where else can we live, poor people like us who don't have money? After the military department reported it, people who don't have money can apply to live in the post station. It can be regarded as the care of the imperial court for our border army. They can manage three meals a day, but they won't be hungry."
Fang Xie said well, but he couldn't help moving in his heart.
When he went to the Ministry of war to report, no one told him that he could apply for admission to the post station. I'm afraid the people of the army were already calculating him at that time. After all, if he lived in the post station, it would be much harder to kill him. And if he lives in an inn, it's much easier to start.
He suddenly couldn't help laughing, laughing that he was really well treated after he arrived in the imperial capital.
It looks like a fair and bright imperial capital, but it is full of pits for him. If you are not careful, you may fall in and can't pull it out.
……
……
Wang Ding and others went to the second floor and chose an elegant room facing the street. After ordering the waiter to serve wine and food, Wang Ding waved his hand and said impatiently, "close the door and get upset when you hear the voice of those poor people outside."
Wang Wei, who was not seated on one side, immediately closed the door with a humble attitude.
"Wang Wei, you are different from them."
Wang Ding looked at him and said with a smile, "not to mention that you are under the command of general Luo, the left avant-garde, but your origin should also be a branch of my Wang family. Don't associate with these people in the future, so as not to provoke vulgarity."
"What the prince said is that I will do it."
Wang Wei leaned forward slightly and said humbly.
"Sit, sit"
Wang Ding waved his hand casually and said: "Since I brought you here, I didn't treat you as an outsider. There's no reason for this wine today. Later, general Luo Wen, the only son of general Luo DA and the head of the martial arts academy, will come this year. You are a veteran of general Luo, and you should be closer to General Xiao Luo later... I specially invited General Xiao Luo to practice this meal for him. He has been designated as the fourth grade by his majesty The general will soon leave Beijing to serve in the right Xiaowei army in the northwest. "
"Brother Wang is admirable!"
A young man in royal clothes couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "if you don't say who can guess the purpose of today's wine, it's not easy to invite young man Luo Wen. How can someone else have such a big face!"
Wang Ding waved his hand and smiled and said, "where, my father and general Luo are old friends. General Luo and I played together when we were young. I remember when he made trouble, I didn't take the blame for him. So if others didn't invite him, he still had to give me face."
Just then, someone knocked on the door outside.
"Who?"
Wang Wei asked.
"Young master Wang, I am a messenger."
The young man in keshengju at the door lowered his voice and said, "just now general Luo sent someone and said he couldn't get away with something important today. I really can't spare time. Please bear it more."
This was polite, but it was tantamount to slapping Wang Ding.
Wang Ding's face changed and was very ugly.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Wang Wei hurriedly said, "I think the military department has something important. After all, general Luo is going to the northwest. The military department should have a lot of things to explain and arrange..."
"Shut up!"
Wang Ding glared at him and felt his face burning. Just because of the shame in his heart, he felt that the noisy border troops outside were hateful. He couldn't help but be cold when he thought of the man who looked at him coldly.
"Wang Wei, do you know who is the military rate on the side who is blind?"
"I know!"
Wang Wei quickly said: "His name is mo Xidao. He is a scouting leader of Fenghuang station in eastern Xinjiang. He was promoted to the brigade leader before he came to the imperial capital because of his contributions. He has good cultivation and has some prestige in the border army. He organized the border army's gathering at the guest victory residence this time. He is the most promising candidate to enter the top three among candidates of military origin. Not only his cultivation is profound, but also he is very insidious Cunning. "
"Phoenix platform?"
Wang Ding frowned and seemed to think of something: "the man who sneaked into the East Chu to kill people? He knew about it, but didn't remember the man's name. He must have been left at that time when he was blind... If it was really him, it was worth paying attention to."
"How can a straw bag compare with brother Wang!"
The man sitting next to Wang Ding poured him a glass of wine, smiled and said, "brother Wang is the hot candidate to enter the top three. Let those border troops who are inferior to the top three be not brother Wang's opponent."
"I can't help but be careful."
Wang Ding thought about it, looked at Wang Wei and asked, "do you know this man?"
Wang Wei shook his head and said, "I don't understand. I just heard that his accomplishments should have exceeded six grades. No one should win him with so many candidates from military background."
"If this person... Can't take the martial arts academy exam... What's the use of being stronger?"
"Did brother Wang think of a way to teach this man a lesson?"
"Lesson?"
Wang Ding smiled coldly and said, "it will be so cheap for him... Wang Wei, you go down and ask Mo to wash the knife. Just say that I offended him with my rash words and want to make an apology to him!"
"Ah?"
Everyone here was surprised.
"Why should brother Wang condescend to your honor?"
Someone immediately advised.
"Ha ha"
Wang Ding smiled, called Wang Wei over and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Wang Wei's face changed greatly. He couldn't help but step back and waved his hand and said, "childe Wang, this is a sin to be taken to prison! If you're not careful, even I'll be involved! It's wrong."
"What are you afraid of with me?"
Wang Ding waved his hand and said, "go, as long as you do this well, I'll thank you very much. Besides, Mo Xidao can't take the test in the martial arts academy if something happens. Didn't you go to the strongest opponent? Without him pressing you, who can grab the first place for military candidates from you?"
Wang Wei was stunned, hesitated for a moment and said, "since childe Wang thinks highly of me, I can't live up to your trust. However... Since you want to make a move, don't leave room. Several of the following people also have some skills. The border troops in Anyuan city are arrogant, and there is a deputy Fang Xie of the Scout team in fangucheng. Both of them are opponents. If you want to do it... We'll do it together!"
"I really didn't read you wrong!"
Wang Ding laughed and looked proud.
……
……
When Wang Ding told Wang Wei to do something, the people sitting in the elegant room next door to their place frowned slightly. Although Wang Ding told Wang Wei how to calculate Mo Xidao and others, his voice was very low, you can see how his cultivation could not be heard clearly. Seeing his unhappy face, the young man sitting opposite him was worried.
"Commander... I dare not decide what you want me to do without authorization. Will you allow me to make a decision after reporting to my father?"
In the great Sui Dynasty, there were few people called command envoys.
This face is a little gloomy. It is Hou Wenji, the caress of Qing Ya town. Sitting opposite him was Rowan, whose hands were trembling slightly.
Hou Wenji ignored what Luo Wen said in an almost begging tone, but pointed to the outside and whispered: "let Liu Qianhu bring a regiment of bodyguards and wait outside. Don't get close. Later, he said there should be no big trouble."
"Here!"
His confidant's flying fish robe immediately answered and turned away.
"General Luo, what did you say just now? I'm sorry. I'm gone for a while. Would you say it again?"
"I said... I don't dare to decide this without authorization."
Luo Wen replied nervously.
"No harm"
Hou Wenji waved his hand and said with a gentle smile, "I'm not in a hurry. It doesn't matter even if I wait for three or five years. You know the rice paper in our song Mo studio in the big Sui Dynasty is excellent. It can be preserved for decades or even a hundred years. You're still young, and I'm not old... So, don't worry."
He looked at the confession on the table and smiled.
