Chapter 247: Tang Tong's Hope
Wang Zhi is so majestic, but his favorite grandson Wang Si did not apply for the Yang Family Academy as he wanted. When he learned the truth of the matter, this Shangshu lord was furious in the study, and called Wang Si and his son over and scolded him angrily.
For his grandson, Wang Zhi cares more about his grandson in addition to love. He hopes that the power of the Wang family can continue, at least not to be down, so he has always paid great attention to the teaching and cultivation of his children and grandchildren. Wang Si's performance has always been reassuring, he was already the editor of the Hanlin Academy at a young age, and he was a seven-grade official, if he was released from the Jingshi, it would at least be the existence of the county master.
But I can't think that after being suspended at home, I didn't have the intention to be motivated when I was reinstated, I ate and drank every day, and now I hid it from myself and directly applied for the Yang Family College, how could this not make Wang Zhi angry and angry?
In the study, Wang Zhi knelt on the ground under the reprimand, but his face was unconvinced. "Grandfather, didn't you say that the loyal and courageous man has a great future and is very talented? You also said that you let your grandson have time to learn more from him, and now that I have applied for the Yang Family Academy and am going to become his student, why are you unhappy? My grandson is now twenty-seven years old, and I don't feel ashamed that my husband is younger than me, don't you think I've lost the face of the Wang family? ”
"Shut up." Listening to his grandson's outspoken voice, Wang was straight with his beard. "What do you know? Zhonggong is indeed very talented and capable, and I have no objection to you making friends with him and learning something from him. But worshipping him as a gentleman is completely different, you have also heard the truth of being a teacher for one day and a father for life, which is equivalent to tying you to him together, if one day, when the emperor wants to clean him up, won't you have to be affected? ”
"Involved? Grandfather said that the emperor wants to deal with the loyal and courageous father? Wang Si was keenly aware of something and asked cautiously.
"Not yet. But can't you see that the merits of the loyal and courageous prince are too great, so big that they want to be high-minded, let me ask, which emperor in the world allows people with greater merit than himself to exist? It's only a matter of time before he is dealt with. Wang Zhi shook his head at first, and then said in a tone of great affirmation.
What Wang Zhi said was not only what he thought in his own heart, but also the opinions of other courtiers. Everyone almost unanimously thinks in their hearts that it is a matter of time before the emperor deals with the loyal and courageous prince, and he will not do it now, just because there are still too many things that need to be used. But once the emperor's position is completely stabilized and his strength is strong, how can one mountain accommodate two tigers?
It is precisely because of this that many officials did not get too close to Yang Chendong, in case something happened to the loyal and courageous public in the future, and some people would settle accounts after the autumn and find the trouble on their heads.
When everyone was thinking of a way to distance themselves from Yang Chendong, their grandson worshipped him as a teacher, so it was no wonder that Wang Zhi was so angry.
"Haven't you been able to do anything to the loyal and courageous father? Besides, my grandson is optimistic about the loyal and courageous father, from the time he first joined the Beijing Division, I felt that this person was not ordinary, and along the way, the facts have also proved it. Even the Warat army was defeated by it, if the emperor wants to do something to him, I'm afraid he won't get too many benefits, if he doesn't get a good one, he will hurt himself, if that's the case, even if Sun Tzu's road today is right, it is equivalent to taking the lead one step ahead of others! Wang Si did not take his grandfather's words seriously, in fact, with his cleverness, he had already analyzed it.
After analysis, this is the current decision. What he thinks is that you can't put all your eggs in one basket, otherwise that's the most problematic thing.
Wang Si's rebuttal made Wang Zhi speechless. Only then did he realize that his grandson didn't understand, but knew everything, so he made such a decision. "Si'er, do you know how risky this is?"
"Grandfather, grandson has thought about it. But as long as you are still in power for one day, the Wang family will be fine, and the grandson will be fine. In that said, it is not the grandson who worships the loyal and courageous father, if the grandson finds that the loyal and courageous prince is not as powerful as imagined after studying, then you can use your power to ground your grandson at any time, if that is the case, the matter spreads, even if something happens to him one day, no one will take advantage of this matter to trouble our Wang family. ”
Wang Si's confession made Wang Zhi completely stunned. He didn't expect that his grandson was not very old, but he had thought of all the things he should have thought of, so what was there to worry about?
As long as he finds out that Yang Chendong is not a person who does big things, then he can take his grandson back, not only that, but he can also say to the outside world that he sent his grandson to explore the bottom, and it is very likely that it will become a great achievement.
The worst outcome of the matter was already bearable, and Wang Zhi finally did not stop his grandson, but agreed. Now he is worried that because of his relationship, his grandson will be admitted to Yang Chendong, if he can't enter the Yang Family Academy, then all his thoughts are just in vain.
This night, not only the Wang family, but also many people were worried about this issue. It was the commander of the Jinyi Guard who sent an undercover agent to make Lu Gui a little worried.
Although the three spies sent out seem to have nothing to do with Jinyiwei on the surface. But it's really true, as long as someone checks it carefully, then some clues can still be found, if so, will Yang Chendong be used as a little discernment to find trouble for himself?
I don't know why, when I think of Yang Chendong's strength, Lu Gui felt a little drumming in his heart, this person is not easy to mess with. And never do loss-making transactions, at least I have never made any cheap money in dealing with them.
Lu Gui was still thinking about calculating Yang Chendong? But he didn't know that he had been calculated one step ahead.
In the prison of Jinyiwei, Tang Tong, the former Jinyiwei Qianhu, was sitting on the bamboo mat with a depressed face.
It is said that it is a bamboo mat, but in fact it is already in tatters, only a thin layer, and it is freezing outside at the moment, and it is also very cold in the prison prison.
But in such an environment, Tang Tong didn't dare to raise any doubts, as a former Qianhu, he knew the rules too well. A lot of times, you don't speak, you don't speak, and maybe you suffer less because you've been forgotten. But if you want to be strong, then when these jailers start to fight people, they will not care what official position you once held.
He sat on the ground with his knees crossed, his eyes listless, and he had no energy, even when he heard the sound of approaching footsteps, he did not raise his head.
"It's time to eat." It was the jailer who sent the meal, and as he walked through Tang Tong's room, a stiff steamed bun that was a little moldy and black was thrown out and rolled down to his feet.
This is Tang Tong's dinner. If it is placed outside, except for being called Hanako, I am afraid it will be difficult to attract others to take a look, but in this edict, this is a good thing that can save lives and maintain life.
The belly is indeed a little hungry, but this blackened steamed bun really can't arouse any appetite, at this time he can't help but hate his original choice, why should he believe that Jin Ying must stay in Jingshi? If he had made another choice at that time and left with Cao Jixiang to Nanjing, it might have been a different scene.
sighed in his heart, reached out and took the moldy and blackened steamed bun in his hand, and then handed it to his mouth, with a look of lovelessness.
took a bite, and Tang Tong, who had a gloomy expression, still regretted his choice, but after chewing a few times, his expression suddenly froze. Then the pupils of his eyes became larger, and then he looked around vigilantly, and when he saw that no one noticed him, he carefully spit out the steamed bun in his mouth into his hands, and saw a small page of paper sandwiched between them.
There was a strip that appeared in his steamed bun, and there seemed to be handwriting on it, Tang Tong's heart thumped. He didn't believe it could be the chef's carelessness, and his instincts told him that someone must be passing the message to him.
But who can send a message to himself? Who would think of him now that he was almost a wreck, and who would have the power to evade the jailers and bribe the people among them to spread the news to themselves? How much energy does this person have?
With all kinds of questions, Tang Tong carefully opened the note in his hand, and immediately three lines of small characters came into his eyes, at this moment his breathing began to become rapid, and after a while, his eyes were full of tears, "Loyal and courageous, it turned out to be loyal and courageous." Yes, he is the only one who is willing to give money, and there is so much silver that he can do whatever he wants in prison. ”
said this in his heart, and then quickly digested the contents of the note, and it didn't take long for his face to begin to change dramatically, and then his expression slowly became calm.
After a long while, his heartbeat was not so fast, and his emotions were not so excited, Tang Tong put the note back in his mouth and swallowed it, then got up, held the iron cage with both hands, and shouted loudly, "Come on, I want to see Ji Yanshi, I have something important to report!" ”
......
Today is the day when the enrollment list of Yangjia College opens.
In the morning, there were a lot of people outside Yangjiazhuang, although this was not as good as Zhongxiucai, Juren and Jinshi. But for many people, if they can enter the Yang Family Academy, life may be a new beginning.
When the people were almost gathered and the sun was slowly rising, a group walked out of Yangjiazhuang. They held lists written in red letters in their hands, and under the gaze of everyone, they pasted them horizontally at the gate of the Yang Family Academy, and a full hundred names appeared in everyone's pupils.
The list was posted, and many people immediately rushed over and came to the bottom of the list to look up.
With only one-fifth of the acceptance rate, or the early acceptance rate, it is natural that most people will leave disappointed. But at the same time, there are people who are excited, and they are chosen. And in the eyes of these people, there are people who are either excited, excited, or even arrogant and condescending.
