Chapter 111 Seven years later
Wang He asked back: "Why doesn't it matter to my father?"
As the left prime minister, Wang Heng was in court and the head of all officials; at home, he was an example of his clan members. If his clan members made mistakes, he could not escape his responsibility!
Zhang Jinyan said: "It's fine if he impeached Wang Zhao, why should he cling to his uncle? Does his uncle have a grudge against him?"
Wang He said: "I'm afraid there is really a grudge."
Over the years, my parents have offended too many people. Some are in the open, and some are hiding in the corner. They are staring at the Wang family and ready to pounce on them at any time.
Zhang Jinyan said: "Isn't he afraid of his uncle and aunt?"
Wang He said: "He is really not afraid. Don't say that my parents dare not treat him at the moment. Even if others attack him, my parents will come forward to protect him, in case they are said to be a slaughter and eliminate dissidents. They have all planned it!"
Zhang Jinyan opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Wang He said to himself: "No hurry."
Zhang Jinyan hurriedly asked, "What's the rush?"
Wang He avoided the answer and stood up and said, "We will set off tomorrow morning."
The next morning, they said goodbye to Abbot Jinghui and went down the mountain and looked south.
During this experience, Wang He and his cousin discussed it and planned to start from the southeast coast, then turn to the southwest border, then go to the west border, then go to the northwest, then go to the northeast, and then go to the south of the Yangtze River after a circle of Dajing.
In this way, travel around Dajing.
The states within Dajing: the capital city was where he grew up and would return in the future; it was the last destination in Jiangnan and Central Plains.
He went to the southeast and southwest first, because he wanted to visit something.
Back then, his mother defeated the prime minister Zuo Duanyang as a prefect, and the Zuo clan was destroyed. At that time, Zuo Duanyang's nephew Zuo Qiufeng served as an official in Xuezhou, southwest. Before the incident in Zuo Duanyang, he ordered his grandson Zuo Tiansong to join his uncle. Later, Zuo Qiufeng, Zuo Tiansong and others were taken back to the capital to commit suicide.
Wang He wanted to find out, is there really no one in the Zuo family?
He didn't want to kill the Zuo family, but he would never let the enemy peek at the Wang family in the dark and wait for an opportunity to take revenge on his parents. - Zuo Duanyang died, and the one who destroyed the nine tribes of the Zuo family was the late emperor and a group of court officials, not his parents!
The southwestern border is guarded by King Suzaku Zhao Yin.
The western border was originally guarded by Baihu. However, the Baihu Marquis Zheng Ji had just restored his title for more than ten years and his foundation was still weak. The western border was guarded by him and the loyal and brave general Zhao Ziyi. Compared with the other two kings, Baihu Marquis did not have military power, but he mastered the most advanced firearm manufacturing technology in Dajing.
Wang He went to Xijiang this time by firearms.
Then there is Xuanwu Pass in the northwest, guarded by Fang Pan, Zhongyi Gong; the northern border is guarded by Zhang Boyuan, King Xuanwu; the northeast coast is stationed by General Jinghai, and he will come to these Dajing territory and understand.
Seven years have passed since this circle has gone by.
During these seven years, the imperial court's personnel changed.
Over the past seven years, Wang Heng and Liang Xinming have been pushed to the forefront of the Dajing Dynasty. They have a high position and are powerful, but they are also walking on thin ice.
Every time they proposed a decree, they punished a corrupt official or powerful person. When the late emperor was there, they made meritorious service and were commended; now they were accused of being arbitrary and ignoring the ruler. Now, they all say that the king and his wife are in power, and they move forward in a deep abyss; when they retreat, they are also a deep abyss.
Wang He realized that his parents were in danger and returned immediately.
He did not return to Beijing, but rushed to Jiangnan.
Jiangnan was originally his last destination.
A few years ago, Emperor Jiaxing had a wedding, and the empress dowager was the leader and chose the empress dowager's niece as the queen. The empress dowager's niece was also included in the palace, including daughters such as Concubine Pan.
This Concubine Pan is Pan Meilin's granddaughter mentioned earlier. After entering the palace, she was very favored. She first gave birth to a third prince and promoted it to a concubine, and then promoted it to a noble concubine.
Liang Xinming couldn't stand her charming master, and was inconvenient to interfere in the emperor's harem, so he used tricks, causing the Empress Dowager to scold her several times.
Concubine Pan did not dare to blame the Empress Dowager, so she cried in front of Emperor Jiaxing repeatedly, saying that Lord Liang bullied her by relying on her identity as an imperial teacher. In addition to the Empress Dowager, she also had a mother-in-law outside the palace, and everything was subject to control.
The Pan family even regarded Wang Heng and Liang Xinming as mortal enemies, and other officials were reluctant to do so. They were about to use Concubine Pan to suppress the power of Wang Xiang and Liang Xinming.
The villain took the opportunity to slander, saying that it was a hen that was in a mess of the rules, so that the late emperor died in his prime, and there were frequent floods and droughts in various places, which was a warning to God.
Emperor Jiaxing gradually became dissatisfied with Liang Xinming.
One person was promoted to heaven, Concubine Pan was favored, and the Pan family also had to use it. Pan Meilin was transferred to Jiangnan two years ago and served as the weaving chief of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau.
This is a fat lack of oil.
Pan Meilin's various actions since taking office are not to be discussed in detail.
As the Zuodu Censor, Liang Xinming has always endured her feelings, which is incomparable to the thundering methods she made when she first debuted.
Everyone says that Lord Liang is the best at changing the wind and protecting himself.
Look, this is the court struggle:
Advance is wrong; retreat is also wrong!
Wang He’s goal in this trip to Jiangnan is Concubine Pan!
In mid-June of the seventh year of Jiaxing, Huzhou, Jingtai Prefecture, and Xiazhao County.
Jingjiang Wharf, on this day, the sun was scorching. Several men came down from the boat, wearing straw hats and short gray brown, each leading a mule, carrying baskets on the mule, standing on the bustling wharf, which was no different from the merchants traveling from south to north.
One of them raised his hat upwards, revealing a young white-faced and handsome face. He was about twenty years old, looking at the river embankment and the lively pier of Yinyincui, and sighed: "It's better to have Jiangnan, and the wind is beautiful."
The other man simply lifted his hat and was a strong boy with a simple face and muttered: "It's obviously the sun is scorching."
These people are Wang He and Zhang Jinyan and his actions.
After seven years of bumpy and wind and frost, they have washed away their glitz without disguise, and they seem to be no different from the peddler and pawn.
"Brother, I want to eat some good food. I want to eat fish." Zhang Jinyan licked his mouth and looked at the bustling street market outside the pier!
Over the past seven years, he followed Wang He to eat and have had a lot of hardships, and now he has finally finished his hardships.
"Okay! After selling these goods, I will take you to a restaurant to eat," Wang He slapped the mule's back and said, "Let's go!"
The old servant heard it from behind and wanted to laugh for no reason.
They travel outside and make a living.
It is easy to make a living by yourself, and it is difficult to say it is easy to say it; they cannot stay somewhere and work wholeheartedly, which is even more difficult.
After thinking about it, Wang He started to do business: whenever he went to a place, he searched for local specialty land and took it to another place, and then earned the difference after selling it. This made it more convenient to travel.
In the past seven years, they have sold many things, especially jade and medicinal materials, because these things are expensive, light and easy to carry. Among the three of them, two of them have excellent martial arts skills and are not afraid of robbery.
Young Master Wang is full of wisdom and Prince Zhang is literary and martial. Unfortunately, he is not better than others in business, and he just makes some money.
Thirty-six lines, each line will produce the top scholar.
It is impossible for both of them to be proficient in everything.
There is another reason: their purpose of traveling this time is not to make money, so they are unwilling to spend their energy and lose their money.
But after seven years of coming out, I was about to go home, so I couldn’t bring some gifts to my family? Since I had to buy gifts, I needed money.
Young Master Wang made up his mind to make a fortune at the last moment, so they personally entered the northern forest to collect herbs, cut deer antlers, and then bought some old money he had saved up over the years, loaded several big baskets to the south of the Yangtze River.
