Turbulent Times Chapter 735: The face saint who walks on thin ice
Wang Junlin was so embarrassed that he couldn't find a crack in the ground to sneak in. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Thank you Madam for your tolerance."
Chen Danying looked at Wang Junlin with some sorrow, and said quietly: "The identity of the eldest princess is destined to have nothing to do with her husband, and she has a deep affection for him, and she has done a lot for him. Because of this incident, I blame my husband."
Wang Junlin was moved and said: "Madam understands righteousness and integrity. In the next few days, I will find a good day to marry Madam, entertain all the noble officials in the capital, and give Madam a clear identity..."
Chen Danying knew that his identity was very sensitive, and Wang Junlin would take a great risk in this move. Although he was touched to death, he quickly said: "My husband must not cause trouble because of my concubine."
"This matter is settled like this, Madam, you don't need to worry about it." Wang Junlin said firmly.
The husband and wife talked late into the night, Chen Danying gradually became sleepy, covered her mouth and yawned again and again, Wang Junlin was exhausted after driving for many days, and just now they fought several times, the two hugged each other, and fell asleep unknowingly .
…
…
The next morning, Wang Junlin woke up before dawn.
After washing up, Wang Junlin stretched and yawned long. Chen Danying had already put the brewed tea on the low table, and the cook's breakfast was steaming on the table.
Wang Junlin sighed contentedly, this is the feeling of home!
After breakfast and two sips of tea, Wang Junlin ordered the guards to prepare their horses and go out to the imperial city.
Shan Xiongxin and others surrounded Wang Junlin and passed through the various squares of Daxing City, straight into the Huangcheng Street, and continued along the Huangcheng Street. Wang Junlin soon arrived in front of the Imperial City.
Handed the badge to the guard at the gate of the imperial city. After careful inspection, the guard sent someone into the palace to report. After waiting for about half an hour, the city gate opened, and a young man flashed through the crack. The **** saluted Wang Junlin with a smile, and then led Wang Junlin inside.
Following the **** into the palace, until the entrance of Ziwei Hall, the **** signaled Wang Junlin to wait outside the hall. Not long after, the **** sent a message that His Majesty declared Wang Junlin to enter the hall.
Wang Junlin took a deep breath and slowly entered the hall.
Walking into the hall, Wang Junlin looked up and saw that Yang Guang was half sitting and half lying on the soft couch at the head of the hall. Looking carefully at Yang Guang's appearance, Wang Junlin was slightly surprised.
In just over four months, Yang Guang has lost a lot of weight, but his complexion is a little haggard, and it is not the kind of excessive drinking, which is obviously caused by staying up late and working overtime, but he is still full of energy. Looking at a memorial, it is obvious that he has fallen into the vast sea of memorials.
"My lord, King Junlin of Qin'an County, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Wang Junlin bowed to Yang Guang.
"Be flat!" Yang Guang said lightly, lowering his head and continuing to review the memorial.
Wang Junlin sighed secretly, Yang Guang must do everything by himself, sooner or later he got tired, and in history, Yang Guang hated government affairs so much in the late Sui Dynasty that he was unwilling to go to the early court. The demise of the Sui Dynasty may have something to do with being too tired in the early days of being emperor.
After approving the memorial in one go, Yang Guang raised his head and looked at Wang Junlin, perhaps remembering Wang Junlin's great achievements during his trip to merge the state, with a smile on his face: "Wang Aiqing, this time your trip to merge the state, I'm happy I'm very pleased, you... are really good."
Wang Junlin hurriedly said: "I just acted according to the order, and I didn't make any merit. Your Majesty's strategizing is far better than thousands of miles away. What I do is all your majesty's strategy, and I dare not take credit."
The smile on Yang Guang's face became stronger. Wang Junlin was worried that what he said would make Yang Guang angry from embarrassment. Now it seems that Yang Guang is really the kind of person who is super happy!
With this judgment, Wang Junlin immediately said: "Your Majesty, I'm not taking credit for this. Your Majesty ordered me to go to Bingzhou to teach you the opportunity. Your Majesty has already given me instructions on the strategy for the trip to Bingzhou. I just Just follow His Majesty's orders, I dare not claim half of the credit."
Yang Guang nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "But you can deeply understand what I mean, and complete it well, which can be regarded as a great achievement."
Wang Junlin's mind was spinning quickly, but he said: "I succeeded this time, thanks to the help of Luo Yi, General Ying Yanglang of Hedong County. After I arrived in Hedong County..."
After a while, Yang Guang looked deeply at Wang Junlin, and suddenly laughed, "Aiqing admires Luo Yi so much, I believe what you say."
Wang Junlin forced a smile and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, everything I said is the truth."
Yang Guanglue pondered for a while, and said: "Since Luo Yi has made such great achievements and led troops to fight so well, then let Luo Yi be promoted to two ranks and become the governor of Bingzhou! It's just that Ai Qing can take the post of Bingzhou's marching chief." There is a suitable candidate."
Wang Junlin originally wanted Luo Yiguan to be promoted to Bingzhou Zhonglang General, but he didn't expect to become Bingzhou's No. 2 officer marching commander Shi after the marching chief. Hearing Yang Guang's question at this time, and looking at the coldness in the latter's eyes, he quickly said: "I don't have any candidates. The important position of the commander of the army can only be decided by Your Majesty, and it must be held by His Majesty's confidants." .”
Most of the coldness in Yang Guang's eyes dissipated, and he said with a smile, "Aiqing is right, so let's step back first! I still have a lot of memorials to review."
Wang Junlin hurriedly saluted Yang Guang and then slowly exited the hall.
Stepping out of the gate of the palace, Wang Junlin sighed inwardly, Yang Guang was so jealous, no wonder there were so many good generals in the Sui Dynasty, but in the end nearly half of them died in his hands, or in the hands of treacherous officials who catered to him. Some of them were forced to rebel or forced to rebels.
Until leaving the imperial city, the moment Wang Junlin walked out of the gate of the imperial city, he exhaled a foul breath in his chest, and felt the depression in his heart dissipate.
Actually, Miansheng still has a lot to say today. Wang Junlin made several great achievements in Bingzhou. They didn't even mention it, and Wang Junlin was of course happy to ignore it, anyway, he knew that there was no advantage for him to be promoted at this time, only disadvantages.
It's just that Yang Guang never mentioned the reward, which inevitably left Wang Junlin with a suspense. Wang Junlin couldn't figure out whether it was Yang Guang who was busy reviewing the memorials and forgot to mention the award, or Yang Guang had other deep intentions and deliberately didn't mention it.
It's still early, Wang Junlin decided to go to the backer's mansion, pay a visit to the backer king Yang Lin, and then visit Han Qinhu and Changsun Sheng when he has time, and go to the Dugu mansion tomorrow or some other day to pay a visit Dugu Changsu and Pei Shiju are also going there.
