high official

Chapter 349
Before that, Wang Xian had only seen Zhu Di from a distance during the military parade, but at that time the emperor was covered in golden armor, like a yellow chrysanthemum blooming on a high platform, and he couldn't see his true face clearly.

So this face-to-face meeting was the first meeting between him and Daming Supreme. Wang Xian was a little excited and lost sleep that night.

When he got up the next morning, with the help of Shuaihui and Erhei, he washed and dressed, and then sat there, waiting for Zhu Zhanji to take him into the palace.

"My lord, don't be nervous when you see the emperor." Shuai Hui said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor has the air of an emperor, and his gestures are shocking."

"You've read too many dramas, right?" Erbai Hei glanced at him and said, "The emperor is also a human being, and he will fart only if he eats too many radishes. My lord has traveled far and wide and has seen a lot, so why would he be nervous?"

"Actually, I'm a little nervous." Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "Now is an extraordinary period, and I can't say a word wrong."

The two of them remained silent, and asked him to calm down and prepare well. Wang Xian imagined what to do when he saw the emperor later, how to say, what questions the emperor would ask, and made a plan one by one.

When Wang Xian had deliberated all the problems, he looked up and saw that the sun was already rising.Er Hei and Shuai Hui stared at each other, Shuai Hui asked: "My lord, is it possible that the emperor is sleeping late?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Wang Xian also felt a little strange, and said calmly: "The emperor works hard day and night, so there is no chance to sleep in. Just wait obediently."

A few people were talking, when they heard footsteps outside, they saw that Zhu Zhanji was coming, and when they looked at his constipated expression, they knew that things had changed.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xian got up to greet him.

"Alas..." His Highness Taisun sighed before speaking, Chen Wu hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, Zhu Zhanji took it and was about to bring it to his mouth, when his complexion suddenly changed, he threw the tea bowl heavily on the ground, and cursed: "My two uncles are too deceitful!"

"Originally, I was supposed to come to pick you up into the palace this morning, but when I was called into the palace by the eunuch before I left, my grandpa asked me if you were pretending to be a mission, and if you were pretending to be me to marry a Mongolian princess." Trembling, he told Wang Xian about today's experience: "We discussed these matters, and the emperor should not be delayed in these matters, otherwise it will be a big trouble if the truth is revealed in the future, so I admit it."

Wang Xian nodded, and the grandson continued: "After hearing this, Grandpa Huang said that you are too bold and reckless, and have no regard for the state system. Although you are loyal and capable, you have to temper your temper before you use it!"

"Uh..." Wang Xian couldn't help gasping for air. To 'grind your temper' in the officialdom means to let you wear small shoes and sit on the bench, and the time limit is not fixed. It may be a year or a half, or it may be ten or eight years. It is very possible that the emperor even forgot about this person... After all, there are too many talents in Ming Dynasty. If nothing else, the imperial examination will be held next year, and hundreds of young talents will appear in front of the imperial court. It's good enough, the day lily will be cold soon, it's so sad!
Seeing that Wang Xian was silent, Zhu Zhanji said with guilt: "I will fight for you, but my grandfather's sacred heart has been determined, so it's useless to say anything. I will only give you the vain job of Jinyiwei Qianhu, and let you go back." Study well for two years and then..."

"Pfft..." Wang Xian almost sprayed Zhu Zhanji's face with a sip of tea, "Your Highness, what is the rank of Jinyiwei Qianhu?"

"The fifth grade." Zhu Zhanji said: "What's the matter?"

"How many levels do you count, from the low-level to the top-five?" Wang Xian stretched out two palms and said, "A full ten levels! Such a thing as rising to ten levels in a row, can be regarded as a smooth career?"

"This..." Zhu Zhanji said with a wry smile: "First of all, your starting point is low, and you can only reach the fifth rank if you go up to tenth level. Second, you can't be an official in Jinyiwei, so you just receive a salary. What's the point? I'm happy." He said with a sigh: "Although you can't mention the fact that you saved me, but just say that you brought back the Borzigit tribe and defected to Ming Dynasty, and the golden seal of the Mongolian Khan, I will reward you as an earl." It’s not an exaggeration, I only give you a thousand households, do you mean to wrong you or to praise you?”

"Praise." Wang Xian said with a smile.

"I know you said that to make me feel at ease..." Zhu Zhanji said weakly: "Actually, the official position is still secondary. The key is that the emperor didn't see you. This will be a great loss to you!" In the imperial power society Now, the holy family is the biggest advantage. The courtiers who are in the emperor's heart, even if they are just entering the official career, will be looked at highly by the ministers and compete for friendship.On the contrary, if there is no holy family, even the second grade Shangshu will be uninvited.

Originally, Wang Xian fled back from Mobei, in the view of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, he should become a celebrity in front of the emperor, a star of hope rising.But now that Zhu Di doesn't see Wang Xian, his value has plummeted. This is what Zhu Zhanji feels most guilty about.

"Compared to the brothers who died, what kind of loss am I?" Wang Xian said with a generous smile: "Your Highness, you don't have to feel that you owe me anything. It's what I should do in terms of emotion and reason, and I didn't expect anything. .”

The more magnanimous he was, the more guilty Zhu Zhanji felt, and he said with hot eyes: "It's all my fault for hurting you, don't worry, sooner or later I will have the final say, and I will definitely compensate you ten times and a hundred times."

"The minister thanked His Highness first." Wang Xian smiled and said: "By the way, why is this matter related to the two princes?"

"Those two bastards!" Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth when he heard the words: "Now we are strictly guarding against my grandpa. They are worried that after you see the emperor, there will be another change, so they slandered my grandpa one step ahead of time. This made his old man temporarily change his mind!"

"Why are they so afraid of me?" Wang Xian smiled wryly.

"Based on your performance in Mobei, being able to play with Mahamu and his son is enough to make them jealous!" Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice: "But at the same time, it also shows that they are planning big things and they are not allowed to There are uncontrollable factors."

"Hmm." Wang Xian sighed, "What can I do?"

"You have done too much for me..." Zhu Zhanji had a lot of ideas, but Wang Xian couldn't see the emperor, and everything was useless. He smiled miserably and said, "Don't get involved in these things." He said with a smile Said: "By the way, my grandpa is very happy with the return of the Borzigit tribe. Yousi treats them favorably. Just rest assured." After speaking, he sighed and said: "It's a pity that the brothers of the young army have also been implicated by me. , not only is there no reward in terms of meritorious deeds, but the conversion to a full-time job is also far away..."

It seems that the blow to Zhu Zhanji was too great today, and he was a little incoherent.

Wang Xian brought him another bowl of tea, and said in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, don't be impatient, we will definitely find a way."

"Hmm!" Zhu Zhanji took the teacup and said with a sad face: "I'm in a mess now, and I can't think of any way out."

"What do you think the emperor will do?" Wang Xian had no choice but to help him start over.

"I don't know." Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "My grandpa, the emperor, always does things by attracting but not sending out, and if he sends out, he must be killed."

"Okay..." Wang Xian thought about it and said, "His Royal Highness's fear now comes from the emperor's anger, and the emperor's anger comes from his suspicion of His Royal Highness, right?"

"That's right." Zhu Zhanji nodded.

"Then find a way to dispel the emperor's suspicion." Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "The emperor suspects that the prince has a different heart, and he wants to starve him and the army to death on the pretext that the White Lotus Sect blocked the traffic and refused to deliver food to the front line. Out there, right?"

"How is this possible?" Zhu Zhanji said depressedly, "Is my father such a crazy person?"

"Of course we don't believe it, the key is to make the emperor not believe it either." Wang Xiandao: "In this way, we have to take a two-pronged approach. First investigate what happened in Shanxi..."

"It's too late, Shengjia will go south and return to the capital tomorrow." Zhu Zhanji said depressedly: "There is no time for someone to go to Shanxi to investigate."

"Then we have to go through this hurdle first, and then find out the truth and let the emperor clear his doubts." Wang Xiandao.

"Well." Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "How can you hold on?"

"We can only seek help from someone the emperor trusts." Wang Xiandao: "Who does the emperor trust? This question sounds familiar."

"Yes, you asked me about Zhou Xin's case at that time." Zhu Zhanji said: "I answered you, a monk and a Taoist nun."

"Yeah." Wang Xian nodded and said, "The old monk asked Taoist nun to come forward last time, so we can't let him go this time!"

"Can you convince Master Yao?" Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up, as if he had caught a life-saving straw. In fact, the reason why he was anxious for Wang Xian to come back was to count on him to persuade Yao Guangxiao.It's just that he is really embarrassed to give orders to Wang Xian now, so he can only let him speak by himself.

"I'll do my best." Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "But His Highness can't pin all his hopes on him alone. You have to work together to mobilize all who can help."

"Well." Zhu Zhanji nodded heavily, and the two discussed for a while, then he hurried to find reinforcements.Over there, Wang Xian also planned to go south the next day, and went to Jinling to ask Yao Guangxiao for help before the emperor returned to Beijing.

In half a day, he went around the barracks and greeted the soldiers. After the Battle of Mobei, his prestige among the young army was even higher than that of Zhu Zhanji.Regardless of officers or soldiers, no matter honorable generals or military officers, they all respect and obey him... especially those brothers who returned with him across the Great Gobi, playing with him in the Oala camp, and Leading Alutai by the nose on the grassland, and finally led the crowd to cross the Gobi at a very small cost and come back to boast about his glorious deeds, which made him even more legendary.This can be seen from the way the soldiers look at him...

But he could also see that the mood of the soldiers was a little bit wrong. Obviously, the brothers' army rewards had already come down, but there were no young soldiers. How could this make them cheer up?

Although he just came back, everyone tacitly agreed not to trouble him, but since Wang Xian saw it, he couldn't pretend he didn't know.He was about to have a good chat with his brothers when Shuai Hui ran over and said, "My lord, Bachelor Jin is here!"
