Chapter 1587 The Man Behind the Scenes

Zhu Zhanji's sudden act of being close to the people on the first day of the Lunar New Year aroused great repercussions in Jinling, and the people were talking about how this prince would become a benevolent monarch like His Majesty today. x

But some people are a little frightened.

"It's not easy for the prince to do this!"

At noon on the first day of junior high school, Yan Bingxing just ate some casually, and then received a guest without letting his two sons participate.

This guest looked at about forty people, with fair skin and extremely well-maintained hands. And those eyes are smiling, which makes people feel kind at the first sight.

"When did Chu Xian come back from Beiping?"

Yan Bingxing asked as soon as he came in, and then asked someone to bring a charcoal basin.

The man's name is Wang Yuan, and he has some legends: he failed the imperial examinations many times in the past, and then his family was poor and unable to support him, so he opened a school, teaching students, and earning money to continue the imperial examinations.

In this way, this person passed the examination when he was almost forty years old, but the ridiculous thing is that before that, the students he taught had produced two Jinshi, and there were five candidates, not to mention the scholar.

Nanfang laughed at that time, saying that he was following the students' buttocks to pick up bargains, implying that his students had become officials, and the examiner reluctantly gave him a job for the sake of his students.

Probably this person also knew that the imperial examination could no longer be continued, so he became a gentry, relying on those students who were officials, he had quietly compiled a large network.

So even though he was younger than Yan Bingxing, Ke Yan Bingxing didn't dare to underestimate him, he was very polite.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I traveled in Beijing for a while, and some students were busy with their business, and I was not interested, so I came back. Mr. Bing Xing looked in good spirits. I think he has been in a good mood recently, right?"

Yan Bingxing smiled wryly and said, "What's the matter! It's not like you don't know that I have been enmity with that person to this point, and I worry about being retaliated by him all day long, and I live like years!"

Yan Bingxing's disgraceful past was known to everyone in Jinling City, but Wang Yuan still smiled: "Why should Mr. Bingxing have the same knowledge as that person? You must know that the family and Wanshixing are involved. It would be bad if it involved the Imperial College."

The words were very sincere, and he was very considerate of Yan Bingxing. Yan Bingxing showed gratitude and said, "Chu Xian is right. The old man is thinking about his two sons, that's why he endured until today."

Wang Yuan stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Mr. Bing Xing doesn't need to think too much, no matter how arrogant and domineering that person is, the south is the leader of Ming Dynasty after all, and I lived a peaceful life in my life, but if someone wants to make trouble, then why not make a fuss! "

Yan Bingxing's eyes lit up, his body involuntarily leaned towards Wang Yuan, and said in a low voice, "Is Chu Xian going to make a move? If you make a move, that person will definitely be ashamed."

Wang Yuan has a refined temperament, but he enjoys a high reputation in the south, and he has never seen him suffer, so Yan Bingxing can't help showing joy.

"Why did Lord Bing Xing make such a statement?"

Wang Yuan showed surprise on his face, and said: "He just has to endure this matter. Anyway, he will return to Beijing with His Highness sooner or later, and it will naturally disappear by then."

Yan Bingxing was greatly disappointed, and after a few perfunctory words, Wang Yuan took advantage of the situation and got up to leave, as if he had just come here specifically to say these few words to Yan Bingxing.

When he went out and got into the carriage, his amiable expression turned into a cold one.

There was already a long-faced man sitting in the carriage, with a natural look of anger on his face. After he helped Wang Yuan up, he said in a low voice, "Teacher, is Yan Bingxing waiting for your action?"

Wang Yuan said coldly: "Exactly, Bo Qing, you are always alert, Yan Bingxing, what do you think will happen?"

The man's name is Huang Jian, his style name is Boqing, and he is in his early forties. He was originally Wang Yuan's student, but later he failed in many trials, and Wang Yuan appreciated his ingenuity, so he stayed by his side as a role between a diner and an aide.

"Teacher, Yan Bingxing is short-tempered. Last time he was exposed about his illegitimate child,

If his reputation is ruined, he will definitely not be reconciled, so he will move. "

Huang Jian smiled, looked angry, and continued: "Teacher, the only thing Yan Bingxing can use is his eldest son in the Imperial College, and his old friend. Teacher, you don't need to talk to him, let's just watch the fun. "

Wang Yuan nodded, stroked the jade pendant on his waist, and said lightly: "Last time you asked someone to let Wang Liushi go and disperse the bounty. This move was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, you were not discovered, otherwise...how is today?"

Huang Jian lowered his eyes and said: "Teacher, this matter is my fault. At that time, I only wanted to make that person a frightened bird, but I never thought that the more than a thousand people brought by His Highness are very powerful, otherwise that person would not dare to go out. Pity!"

The carriage was sparkling, and Wang Yuan's voice seemed a little erratic.

"You, you! You should discuss this matter with me first, and act rashly. If I hadn't ordered people to get rid of the person who was in contact with Wang Liu Sui, you would have been decapitated by now."

Huang Jian's breathing gradually calmed down, "Teacher, that person often travels. If he can seize the opportunity, the country will change drastically. I'm ready for it. It's just a martyrdom. There is no regret in dying!"

Wang Yuan smiled: "So you lived in your own house before I came back?"

"Yes, teacher, I don't want to involve you."

"But how can I watch you go down the road! Hey! Don't be reckless next time!"

The carriage went away, and there were already many children on the street, some were wearing new clothes, some were still in tatters, and they were playing around all over the street.

The first day of Hongxi's first year came like this.

...

Officials in Jinling felt that the old days were too comfortable.

In the past, there was no mother-in-law on my head, and there was no need to think about going to a banquet during the New Year and holidays, so the days were so carefree that I gave birth to boring sighs.

But today is different.

As the prince, Zhu Zhanji will entertain a group of honorable relatives and officials.

So on the third day of junior high school, Zhu Zhanji held a banquet in the mansion, and invited his relatives in Jinling and officials above the fifth rank.

Of course Fang Xing had to play the role of maintaining order, and he also had to welcome guests, which was hard work.

The first to come were Captain Consort, Song Hu, Marquis of Xining, and Captain Mu Xin.

Fang Xing bowed his hand, Song Hu was nothing but that Mu Xin was in bad luck recently, he was impeached by Liu Guan for several serious crimes: he took official wood to build his own house, took away women as concubines, and occupied official land, enslaved The people cultivated...

In particular, there was one that said that Mu Xin asked the sergeant to build a house for him!

So Fang Xing just exchanged a few words with Song Hu, then frowned and bowed to Mu Xin to finish the job.

"Xing and Bo, are you looking down on me?"

Mu Xin seemed to have drunk some wine, her cheeks were slightly red, and she asked Fang Xing sideways.

Fang Xing said indifferently: "Fang does not dare to leave the legacy of King Qianning."

Mu Xin was the youngest son of the former Qianning King Muying, who was married to Princess Changning, so he was awarded the title of Captain Consort, which was very important.

As soon as Zhu Di left, Zhu Gaochi ordered him to take charge of Jinling's post-military governor's mansion. As a result, this guy was probably afraid of Zhu Di before, and as soon as Zhu Di left, he began to do those things recklessly.

It is said that Beiping's decree is already on the way, and Uncle Xiangcheng has already rushed back to Jinling years ago. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the intention to take over the Jinling army.

So Mu Xin drank wine at home today, watching him laughing and mocking.

"Are Xing and Bo looking down on me?"

This was the second time he asked this question. Fang Xing had already seen Li Long outside the door, so he said casually, "Fang doesn't dare, Mr. Mu, please come in."

Fang Xing wouldn't care about a son-in-law captain, even if it was Mu Ying's son.

It's just that he doesn't want to argue today, otherwise he wouldn't talk to people like Mu Xin. rw
