Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 72 A chance encounter between the capital government office and the Liaodong government office (there are three more chapters in the evening)
  The news of Wang Qi's return to Beijing spread throughout the entire capital like a spring breeze overnight.

From the princes and nobles, to most of the cabinet ministers, to the hawkers, to the leaders of actors and artists, they all are eagerly looking forward to seeing who this famous figure, who has caused endless debates in the entire Ming Dynasty, is. appearance.

The most eye-catching thing is that the most powerful captain general in the history of the Ming Dynasty will only be worthy of the title next year.

This news made countless beauties excited.

There is Princess Ningde in front of her, and everyone can't get the right position, but if she can be a small one, she will be glorious and glorious for a lifetime.

Of course, before the news of Wang Qi's arrival in Beijing spread throughout the Forty-Nine Cities, the group had already entered through Chaoyang Gate and entered a specially arranged house in the palace.

The house that Zhu Youxiao gave Wang Qi was located in Renshoufang, a gathering place for high-ranking dignitaries in Beijing. It had high walls, green tiles, and a deep courtyard. It was excellent in terms of privacy and security.

In addition, before Wang Qi arrived in Beijing, his uncle Wang Huazhen, who was far away in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province, had prepared for him the furniture for living in the capital, the cars and sedans for traveling, and the servants, entourage, and maids in the residence. Even in the back garden deep inside the house, a Shandong red beech tree was specially transplanted. It is tall and straight and is said to be nearly a hundred years old.

"Everything is available in the mansion, including maids and servants sent by the palace, as well as servants and attendants appointed by your uncle's comprador," Wang Tiqian introduced Wang Qi to Renshoufang, and after the palace, he introduced him one by one.

"Hehe," Wang Tiqian walked and laughed in a low voice: "Actually, Princess Ningde also prepared some gifts for you, as well as a mother-in-law to serve you, but the queen persuaded her to wait until After three years, I will get married and serve you again."

While Wang Tigan was speaking, the guards and entourage around the two people had already retreated. Naturally, no one could hear the private conversation.

"Thank you so much, Eunuch, for accompanying me all the way." Wang Qi first thanked her with his hands, as if he hadn't heard the words about Princess Ningde, and then asked. "By the way, Your Majesty, is there any Christianity in this capital?"

Wang Qi planned to go to the Christian Church in the capital while waiting for the Lord's summons after he nodded at Donghua Gate. The missionaries there were not only preaching and ferrying people, but more importantly, in Wang Qi's eyes Here, they are all mobile repositories of new Western knowledge.

If we can get some new Western artillery or improved breeding methods through them, it will be helpful for future plans.

"Christianity?" Wang Tiqian rolled his eyes: "Do you believe in religion, sir?"

"It's not that I'm just a little interested in what the Yi people say," Wang Qi didn't finish his sentence.

"If you are just interested, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Mr. Xu, the Minister of Rites, is the most proficient. You can ask him for advice." Wang Tiqian didn't have any other ideas, but some people in the court were quite critical of the Yi people's gadgets. , Wang Tiqian was also afraid that Wang Qi would suffer.

About half an hour later, Wang Tiqian said goodbye and returned to the palace to reply.

Wang Qi asked Qin Erbao to send him out of the house, while he walked in the back garden alone.

I have just arrived in the capital and am unfamiliar with the place, so I need to think about some countermeasures.

In addition, the letter sent by his uncle Wang Huazhen has also been received. Wang Qi can feel the high expectations in it.

However, what Wang Qi felt from Wang Huazhen's words was not only care and love, but also a hint of inadequacy.

Wang Qi felt that Wang Huazhen had no interest in officialdom and wanted to resign and return home.

This change in his uncle's psychology gave Wang Qi some interesting and bad associations.

Shandong Buzheng Yamen can be regarded as one of the top five government offices among the thirteen provinces in the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty. It is the most powerful among the powerful and the most powerful department among the powerful.

At this time, if he wanted to resign and return home, it would be unless there was something wrong with Wang Huazhen himself.

But what his uncle said in the letter was not detailed, which made Wang Qi a little confused.

Not long after, Qin Erbao came back from outside. After getting up, he followed the housekeeper sent by his uncle Wang Huazhen from his hometown in Shandong. Wang Qi was the one he had looked up to since childhood. Things in the capital are complicated and various forces are mixed together. Qin Erbao has no clue about this kind of thing. After all, he has grown up with Wang Qi and is very brave and ruthless. He is very good at killing people. When it comes to welcoming people and sending them off, Qin Erbao doesn't have much. experience.

But Lao Tao, the housekeeper sent by his uncle, is good at this.

"Sir, at the gate of the government office, there are many attendants, housekeepers, and gift-delivery convoys gathered at the gate of the government office. The main road of Renshoufang has been blocked. I will write down a list of greeting cards for you later. The remaining gifts, regardless of whether they are valuable or not, will all be returned, what do you think?" Old Tao, the housekeeper, bowed respectfully.

"It's better to follow the rules of the family. You can handle it yourself," Wang Qi waved his hand, and he was going out with Qin Erbao.

"Sir, in this capital city, why don't you bring more entourage with you when you go out?" It is normal for Lao Tao to have concerns. After all, Wang Qi is famous now and there are many people who want to curry favor with him, but he also wants to take a piece of flesh from him. There are also quite a few.

"Old Tao, do you think that when I go out and lead more than ten Liaodong soldiers, I stand on horseback and carry a long sword at my waist? That formation doesn't tell others that I am Wang Qi of Liaodong?" Wang Qi felt that it was not necessary.

Not long after, Wang Qi put on a black embroidered robe and took Qin Erbao with him and two good soldiers in the army, and then went out. Before entering the palace to discuss the battle, Wang Qi wanted to see Beijing where the sixth grade was not as good as a dog and the fifth grade was everywhere. city.

Therefore, after tapping Mao, Wang Qi turned his horse eastwards and headed towards East Chang'an Street.

The east and west roads of Chang'an Street run directly through the inner city of Beijing, reaching Gongyuan in the east and the Capital God's Temple in the west. In the middle are the government offices of various prefectures, including the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Governor's Office, Jinyiwei, Honglu Temple and other important offices. , and further east, there are rows of commercial buildings, restaurants and Goulanqufang. The sounds of selling, shouting and bargaining can be heard all the way.

"The finest Jiangnan colored silk and brocade silk is of high quality from the West. The colorful silk is sewn stitch by stitch by a woman who has not yet left the pavilion!"

"New mandarin fish, good daughter red!"

"Sugar-coated haws!!"

"Hey, hey, where's my wallet?"

"Whose dirty tricks are you looking for?"

Wang Qi dismounted and walked on Chang'an Street. Qin Erbao followed beside him, while two personal guards led the horse.

Everyone says that the bitter cold land of Liaodong looks no better than Beijing, where the flowers are blooming and the fire is cooking oil!

"Er Bao, let's go to the restaurant to try the mandarin fish later. Is it as tender as the one in Guangning City?" Wang Qi used the folding fan in his hand to point the flag of the restaurant in the distance.

"It must not be as tender as Liaodong's," Qin Erbao smacked his lips, obviously thinking it was just a gimmick in Beijing.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a shout came from not far behind them: "Hey, hey, hey, what a handsome mount!!!"

The voice was domineering and frivolous, and it fell in Wang Qi's ears. The tone was unusually familiar, just like the one he heard two months ago as the governor's nephew.

Did you meet the yamen of the capital?

Then we have to see if he, the yamen from Liaodong, is domineering, or if he is the yamen of Beijing!

Wang Qi didn't turn around, but there was already a smile on his lips.

He didn't come to Beijing to receive titles and rewards in peace!
  The stagnant water of Beijing city should have been stirred up long ago!
