eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 52
Wang Ji was born in the first year of Jingtai, on the bank of Taihu Lake, in Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture.I am 48 years old this year.

His father was a county magistrate. This kind of family background made him not have to worry about life. He began to study with his father since he was a child, and he was known as a young genius. At the age of 16, his father went to Beijing to become an official, and he entered the Guozijian.

Soon, he became a man of the hour because of his good writing.

As soon as his articles came out, all the students of Guozijian would rush to praise him. Some court officials at that time were very surprised and called him "the man of the world".

In the tenth year of Chenghua, at the age of 25, he won No.1 "Jieyuan" in the provincial examination;

During the reign of Zhengde, Liu Jin rebelled, and Wang Jia repeatedly persuaded him, but finally resigned and returned to his hometown because he could not save the situation.Stayed at home for 16 years and did not come back until his death.

The articles he wrote were outstanding for a while, and he was also included in the cabinet as an official, so Tang Yin bestowed a couplet saying that he was "the best article in the country, and the prime minister in the court is unparalleled."

In addition, he was a clean and honest official, and he was called "the poor old man in the world" at that time.

So Wang Yangming said that Wang Jia is a "perfect man".

This perfect man couldn't sleep at night after returning, the prince's words kept echoing in his ears.

Especially the sentence, loved ones hurt, enemies fast, if they really follow their minds, I'm afraid they will become the accomplices of the Tatars, and the people of Ming Dynasty will suffer.

bang bang.

"what happened?"

This voice made Wang Jia unhappy, and he was restless. After returning home, he explained that no one was allowed to disturb him.How dare you knock on the door?
The servants outside the wooden door were also worried, but they still said, "Master, you are from the Eastern Palace."

East Palace?

With a thought, Wang Jia immediately stood up and walked out.

"Please."

The visitor hid in the black robe and came here late at night, why?

"Master Wang."

Take a closer look inside the house,
Isn't this Liu Jin?

"Eunuch Liu?" Wang Jia cupped his hands, "I don't know if it's the father-in-law who came to visit, but please forgive me. This...but what's the order from His Highness?"

"No, Your Highness doesn't know that I'm coming to your residence." Liu Jin glanced back and found that the servants of the palace had closed the door, so she also sat down with peace of mind.

At this time, in this atmosphere, there is no need for people to wait on you.

Wang Jia also guessed that it was not an ordinary thing, and there was no need for those few sips of tea when entertaining guests.

However, for a while, he couldn't think about Liu Jin's intention for this trip.

"Looking at Mr. Wang's appearance, he must have been unable to sleep all night after returning from the East Palace."

Wang Jia couldn't deny it, "Chaoju, Bianguan, Donggong... really can't sleep peacefully."

"But I don't know, what does Lord Wang think of His Highness's words today, and what is His Excellency going to do? Will he support His Highness, continue to oppose him, or, as His Highness said, stay on the sidelines, and then he can step out of the cabinet and become a prime minister in the future."

Wang Jia is a very proud person.

He said with some dissatisfaction: "If according to what Eunuch Liu said, I stay up late at night because of this matter, then I, Wang Jia, take my own future too seriously."

If not, then why not sleep?
Liu Jin was not annoyed, and cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me, Lord Wang."

"Wang Yue is indeed Li Guang's henchman. He is arrogant, conceited of great talent, and colludes with traitors. How can he be wrong if he is said to be against him?"

Later, Wang Jia muffled his voice again, "But... Your Highness's words are not unreasonable. Wang Yue is a long-established general. He has rarely lost against Tatars in his life. If he doesn't go, the Tatars will also die." It has indeed become the biggest beneficiary. I am just entangled in who is the right way. As for going out of the cabinet and entering the picture, it is not my wish."

"Our family admires it. Has your lord thought about it?"

"Not yet." Wang Jia suddenly felt strange, why did you come running over in the middle of the night and kept asking me questions, "I don't know my father-in-law, why did you visit the door this time?"

Liu Jin didn't go around with him either, "Originally, our family is here to give your lord a future, but your lord said that the future is not important. Then our family is here to give you a disaster."

Wang Jia laughed out loud after hearing this.

"My father-in-law is a wonderful person. But it doesn't matter!"

"This matter is not complicated. Your Highness is a very assertive person. Now His Highness has made up his mind about Wang Yue's matter, and there is absolutely no possibility of backing down or changing his mind. This matter must be done or not. Lord Wang I’m not in a hurry to say that I haven’t made up my mind, but if Lord Wang finally decides to go the same way with His Highness, I would like to ask you to go to Shu Chen Zou!”

That is to say, please ask Wang Jia to lead the performance and fire the first shot!
Wang Jia is a gentleman, but he is not stupid,

When the cannon was fired, he was the one to take the blame.

It's not that he can't take the blame, but he needs to know the reason.

"This is a disaster. Since it is a disaster, our family must always explain the reason, and we can't ask adults to die for nothing."

In this room, the candles flickered, and there was a little light in the darkness. It seemed that all the secrets were hidden in such a corner of the world.

"To tell you the truth, my lord, in fact, the courtiers cannot win this trilateral battle for the chief executive. Because His Highness is the East Palace, and the emperor is behind. But have you ever thought that even if Your Highness wins this battle, the biggest What is the danger?"

Wang Jia frowned in thought.

What Liu Jin said is to jump out of the matter itself and look at it from a higher perspective.

In other words, even if Wang Yue really went, there would still be danger behind.

That is……

"Hiss..." Wang Jia's eyebrows twitched suddenly, "Eunuch means that Wang Yue lost the battle!"

"Your Excellency Wang is indeed a dragon and phoenix among men, so you are considered an adult with such ingenuity." Liu Jin cupped his hands and greeted him politely, "It is said that soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. You stumbled before. Your Highness, you must shoulder the burden and push Wang Yue to be the commander-in-chief of the three sides against the displeasure of the world. Then Wang Yue must win the battle. But... just in case... when the time comes? If His Highness has made a mistake, where will the East Palace show its face?"

There is no need to say the next words.

Wang Jia also understood, "That's why your highness can't raise this head."

Speaking of decapitation, the emperor has been waiting for the court to recommend a candidate, and has not taken the initiative to speak so far. Didn't he ever think about the possibility of Wang Yue's defeat behind his back?At that time, everyone will say: Look, tell your emperor not to listen to us.If that's the case, where will Daming's face be put?

So Liu Jin's "future" and "disaster" all make sense.

Wang Yue won the battle, and the matter was considered complete.The prince naturally remembered his achievements.

If Wang Yue lost, there must be someone who will take the blame. At that time, this matter is what Wang Jia must persuade the prince to do.The chief culprit must be dealt with, and if he fails to do so, the prince will admit his mistake.

According to this theory, it is naturally a great disaster.

"Master Wang, His Highness can wait for other matters, but the situation at the border can't wait. It may take a day or two at the earliest, and it may take three to five days at the slowest. His Highness will definitely take the lead. At that time, our family can only ask for another Mr. Wang, I beg him to succeed in the first place, and he will succeed in no time."

"Of course... If your lord chooses not to help His Highness, or even opposes His Highness, then it will be assumed that our family has never been here tonight, nor have we said these things."

So much to say, what is left to say is also nonsense.

So Liu Jin got up, "My lord, please wait, our family is leaving."

Wang Jia shook his arms and saluted Liu Jin formally, "The words of the father-in-law are the real words of seeking the country!"

"My lord is too famous, our family is just an eunuch, and can't seek for the country. Such a big event needs to be sought by His Highness, and our family's plan is to protect His Highness."
