Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant
Chapter 76
When mentioning the Golden Luan Temple, people's first reaction is probably that the Daxiong Hall in the Forbidden City is just a landscape in the eyes of later generations, but in the eyes of the ancient ruling class, it symbolizes supreme power.Low-ranking officials want to enter the court, and those who can enter the court want to be one step closer to the emperor. It would be best if they could have power.The underage prince was thinking about when he would be able to listen to the court, and the prince who was able to stand in the court hall only had eyes for the high position.
It was not enough for Wang Xiujin to walk into the main hall from the front steps and go up from the side, looking at the steps that would be trampled by tourists at will in hundreds or even thousands of years, Wang Xiujin felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Emotions.Having lived here for a long time, he can no longer tell whether the memories of his previous life really existed, or are they just the yellow beams in his dreams.Standing by the door, stepping forward, stepping into the majestic hall, every step is cautious.According to the rules, he couldn't walk too far forward, counted the steps silently in his heart, then knelt down respectfully on the ground, shouting long live.
"Pingshen." The Son of Heaven looked at the child kneeling on the ground, and realized that Wang Huanzhi's child was really under nine years old.Before this, although the Son of Heaven often thought that Wang Huanzhi's youngest son was a child, he never had such an intuitive feeling.All kinds of things about Wang Xiujin that he heard from the emperor's mouth made him always ignore his age.He is now convinced that the emperor's brother did not lie to him, and his father did not value Wang Huanzhi because of his talent.
At the beginning of the Liang dynasty, the national teacher made accurate calculations, and many prophecies have been fulfilled. For example, even if the father establishes a prince, the prince will not hold the kingship.On this point alone, the emperor believed it, and the prophecy about the prime minister mentioned by the emperor's brother was also fulfilled. He was born in the countryside, stubborn and pedantic, and although he had real talents, he was useless. Stars, those who reuse them, should be illuminated by emperor stars.
Before, the Son of Heaven had heard Brother Huang talk about this, and he only thought it was funny, although he knew that Wang Xiujin was capable, but he didn't think it would be helpful to the emperor's talent.However, at this moment, the emperor has a kind of person who can make great use of his opponent.His Highness is less than nine years old, and he can set up a stall, make ice, grow new rice, raise crabs, open a shop, and bring his fellow villagers to plant new rice and raise crabs to make a fortune. Now he has created a new way of making bricks, a new way of building houses, replacing The previous wooden and earthen houses are even safer than the expensive brick houses.Although the money Wang Xiujin earned included the silver taels that his emperor's son foolishly contributed, but it has to be said that everything Wang Xiujin got was due to himself.
"Come forward a few steps." The emperor said slowly, Wang Xiujin was the first to catch his eyes, not steamed stuffed buns, nor ice making, nor new rice, but new farm tools. I have to say, Wang Xiujin is more welcoming than his father. See, talent is of great use, and it is worthy of it.
Wang Xiujin bowed and walked a few steps forward, how dare he look up at the main hall, thinking what the emperor wants to do, just give the plaque directly.
"Look up and let me see." The Son of Heaven spoke again.
Wang Xiujin felt strange, but still raised his head, taking this opportunity to see what the emperor looked like, whether it was the same as the pictures in the books in his previous life, very ugly.He raised his head, thinking that he could see the people in the palace clearly, but the emperor had a "door curtain" covering his face, Wang Xiujin felt regretful, and feared that he would never have the chance to see the emperor again.
The emperor looked at Wang Xiujin, and then said, "The old general took advantage, look, how upright he looks."
The corner of Wang Xiujin's mouth trembled uncontrollably, Your Majesty, is it really okay for you to say such a thing?Does it fit?
"It's the minister's grandson who asked for a bargain. When the child came to Beijing, he came to see him at home. The two got along very well." Old General Li was happy today. Wang Xiujin was very satisfied. Compared with the restless daughters-in-law at home, Wang Xiujin was a hundred times better than them.Although he is a boy, he is not short of grandsons. In the future, depending on which one is good, it will not be a problem to adopt a few to raise the two children.
The emperor's mood was sour, thinking that since his father knew about the fortune teller's calculation, why didn't he keep him in his own home, and pointed to General Li's house, did he have ulterior motives?Or did the emperor not tell you all?The emperor settled down, the fire in the Xiangshi Pavilion a few years ago was really an accident?The emperor narrowed his eyes. If it wasn't an accident, his father really doted on his elder brother, thinking that no matter who gets the throne, as long as his elder brother mentions the fortune teller's calculation, he can save his life?
Wang Xiujin didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so he bowed his body and didn't dare to move. He said a word as soon as he entered the palace, and then he ordered and moved one by one. He was still being teased by the emperor. Listening to the meaning, there might be no chance of changing the marriage. , if he knelt down and begged to be let go at this moment, would the emperor order someone to fork him out?Wang Xiujin was thinking wildly, the emperor opened his mouth and ordered people to carry out the plaque, and said that the characters in the plaque were written by himself.Wang Xiujin quickly knelt down to thank him, and secretly said a few words in his heart.
The handwriting on the plaque was flying like a phoenix, and the courtiers praised the emperor's pen and ink, but Wang Xiujin was thinking about where to hang the plaque after it was shipped home?Before he came here, he thought that what the emperor gave was a door plaque, which could be hung directly on the gate of the courtyard. How could he think that what the emperor gave was a signature, not to mention, it was much larger than a normal plaque on the door, so obviously it couldn't be hung on the courtyard door. Or hang it in father's study?Dad should be very happy!
With the plaque rewarded by the emperor, Wang Xiujin's matter of facing the saint can come to an end. After he knelt on the ground and thought about where the plaque should be placed, he wondered why the emperor didn't let him step down?
It was useless when Wang Xiujin was in a hurry, Old General Li spoke up, since he was a family, he couldn't bear to stand aside and let Wang Xiujin kneel all the time.
The emperor nodded and agreed to Wang Xiujin's retreat, but he was very conflicted in his heart.People are selfish. Although the emperor thinks he is a son of a dragon, he has a human body after all, and he just wants to take the good things for himself.After Wang Xiujin exited the main hall, the emperor said, "I remember that the old general was at the court, and wanted me to dissolve Lingsun's engagement with Wang Huanzhi's son." There will be no objection, and the decree will be lifted immediately.
"I didn't see him at that time, so I was in vain to make a conclusion. Now that I see him, I feel that he is intelligent and transparent, and he is a good boy. He gets along very well with the grandson of my minister. I can't be the one who holds up mandarin ducks." Old General Li He said it seriously, but he thought in his heart, is the emperor trying to rob someone?
The ministers in the court were not fools, and they felt strange. The emperor's reaction did not feel that the emperor had fallen in love with Wang Xiujin, but was thinking, is Wang Huanzhi going to stand up?Thinking of the undecided position of Prime Minister, the ministers turned their minds back and forth, and they must not let Wang Huanzhi turn over.
Wang Huanzhi, who was far away in Wangcun, didn't know that he had inexplicably developed hatred, and was busy supervising the villagers' renovation of the old house.Ever since it was rumored that the sixth child was going to run a school in the old house, people in the village, regardless of their relationship, have spontaneously come to renovate the old house, so that after the school is established, the children in the family can come to enlightenment and literacy.
In the capital, Wang Xiujin took the plaque back to the house where he was staying. After explaining to his eldest brother that the plaque was written by the emperor himself, he went to change his clothes.Wang Xiujin looked at the clothes, whether you want to offer this clothes, and when there are juniors in the future, he will tell them that this clothes were worn when he first met the saint. After a hundred years, he can also be buried with him, and then leave an epitaph Speaking of the origin of his clothes, when later generations dig the tomb to find him, maybe there is still some archaeological value?
Thinking of this, Wang Xiujin slapped his forehead hard, and then slapped his mouth again, thinking of something messed up, actually looking forward to his own grave being dug up, "Bah, bah, bah, good spirits, bad ones don't work." Repeatedly After a few times, I was relieved.
"Tian Ding, you said this plaque was written by the emperor himself?" Seeing his younger brother coming out, Wang Xiubai hurriedly grabbed his younger brother and asked him to understand.
"That's right! That's what the emperor said." Wang Xiujin didn't think it was a big deal. In his previous life, the leaders often mentioned this and that, so he didn't think it was any surprise. "Brother, why do you call me by my nickname again?"
Wang Xiubo shook his hand, he wanted more than his younger brother, what is the intention of the emperor personally mentioning the words?Do you want to use your father again?Wang Xiubo thinks it is impossible. If he wants to use his father again, there are many ways, but "send a plaque" is definitely not included.Could it be because of the Li family?The emperor was afraid that Li's family would make great achievements, so he didn't cancel the joking engagement, and because he wanted to give old general Li a little bit of face, would he give the Wang family some status?
Wang Xiujin didn't know what his elder brother had come up with. He planned to return to Wangcun one day. Seeing that spring sowing was just around the corner, he didn't know whether the servants had planted the seedlings in advance, how the seedlings had grown in advance, whether the crab seedlings had been distributed to the villagers, and those who could not plant crab fields. Did you make trouble at home?There are a lot of things, although some of them can be handled by the housekeeper and the store manager, and he doesn't need to do it himself, but he is still worried. There is no convenient way of communication, and he can't know the progress in time, so how can he rest assured.
"Brother, I plan to go home early." Wang Xiujin said that he was about to leave.
Wang Xiubo didn't object. Now that his younger brother is in charge of the family, it is natural to go back earlier, but, "Before you leave, you have to go to Li's house first." Wang Xiubai has basically confirmed that the matter of the plaque is that the emperor intends for Li's house.Moreover, the Li family had a new wedding just now, and the two families had a marriage contract, so they couldn't just leave without saying a word.
"It's natural, and I have to say goodbye to Fourth Brother Zhao. Eldest brother is careful in everything in Beijing. If something happens, he will go to the grocery store to find the rice shopkeeper for help. If the rice shopkeeper can't solve it, then go to the Li family."
"I read at home for my brother, what will happen." Wang Xiubo still felt awkward being taken care of by his younger brother. He always felt that his younger brother, who was more than ten years younger than him, was more like an elder brother.
Before Wang Xiujin went to Li's house, the housekeeper of Li's house came to the door first, and Wang Xiujin's original plan to go home was rejected because of the housekeeper's visit.
It was not enough for Wang Xiujin to walk into the main hall from the front steps and go up from the side, looking at the steps that would be trampled by tourists at will in hundreds or even thousands of years, Wang Xiujin felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Emotions.Having lived here for a long time, he can no longer tell whether the memories of his previous life really existed, or are they just the yellow beams in his dreams.Standing by the door, stepping forward, stepping into the majestic hall, every step is cautious.According to the rules, he couldn't walk too far forward, counted the steps silently in his heart, then knelt down respectfully on the ground, shouting long live.
